Generate PDF using Contact Form 7

Description

Generate PDF using Contact Form 7 plugin provides an easier way to download PDF documents, open the PDF document file after the successful form submission.

Here, a user can set the document file (PDF) from the ‘Form Setting’ Page of each Contact form.

When the user fills the form and submits it, the same document will get open in a new tab. Once it gets opened, the user would be able to download it to the local system.

Also, in case an admin does not want any user to open it in-browser, admin can adjust settings and send that particular PDF as an email attachment.

Note
For PDF we have used MPDF library so in admin side it’s support Below HTML and CSS with editor to generate PDF.

FAQ

How to upload mpdf TTf Fonts in library

To prevent the plugin from becoming too large, we have opted to utilize common TTF fonts and have included them in the plugin.

However, if you encounter a fatal error that states “Cannot find TTF TrueType font file ‘XB Riyaz.ttf’ in configured font directories”
because you are using a different font, you will need to upload the necessary font to the designated plugin path.

/wp-content/plugins/generate-pdf-using-contact-form-7/inc/lib/mpdf/vendor/mpdf/mpdf/ttfonts

  1. You can obtain the required font by downloading it from the GitHub directory provided below.

It’s one thing to have a great product, which they do, it is quite another to provide incredible support. These guys at Zealousweb have both. Their response time is unbelievably amazing. They answer your questions in a timely, professional manner. And they do so even for those using the free version of their product. This product, and another called Abandoned Contact Form 7 plugin solve our problems. Going forward, before I purchase a plugin from any vendor, I check them out first.

Updated to version 4.0.9 to fix the problem of PDFs with sensitive data being publicly accessible. Despite this, I found that sensitive PDFs are still exposed on my domain and found on Google and Bing. The plugin fails to secure sensitive data as promised. If you need to protect confidential information, this plugin is unreliable. Search for: «PDF files found in Search Engines!» in the support forum to learn more.
