PDF Issue

Hi, I need to populate a fillable PDF with data coming from CFF.
I managed to send an email with a PDF generated via HTML, but it’s too basic.

What I need to do is:
1. Populate a graphically structured PDF with fillable fields
2. Append at the end (or attach separately) technical sheets depending on what was selected initially — for example: “Technical Sheet 01”, “Technical Sheet 02”, etc.
3. I’d like to be able to send this PDF not only by email but also via WhatsApp
As for point 1, I can try using HTML, but it would be easier to populate an existing fillable PDF.

However, I have no idea how to handle points 2 and 3.

Any advice on how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Hello @massimo1971

Thank you for choosing our plugin!

The “CFF – PDF Generator” add-on lets you create complex PDF structures using information collected from forms. If you want to populate an existing PDF file, however, you can activate the “CFF – WebMerge” add-on to integrate your form with the “FormStack Documents” service (formerly WebMerge). Please read the following blog post:

For a local solution, your server must have the PDFtk application or a similar program installed. If you have PDFtk installed and need custom coding services, contact us through the plugin website. Contact Us

Regarding your request about WhatsApp, the WhatsApp API is only available for business accounts. It charges per message. (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/)

However, if you have a WhatsApp Business account, you can enable the “CFF – WebHook” add-on and integrate your form with WhatsApp via Zapier:
