How to Integrate Forms with PDF in WordPress

Turn form submissions into PDFs you can send and export

The PDF premium integration lets you create PDFs from form submissions in WordPress. You can attach a PDF to a Send Email action and export a PDF from the submissions page.

You can adjust page size, page orientation, and font settings in the PDF settings tab. The premium integration also includes a Page Break field type to control where page breaks appear in generated PDFs.

Custom PDF templates are supported. The premium integration uses parsed HTML templates with WS Form variables, and generated PDF files are created dynamically rather than stored on your server.

  • Attach PDFs to Emails

    Include a PDF of submitted data with a Send Email action.

  • Export Submission PDFs

    Create a PDF from the submissions page for individual form submissions.

  • Control PDF Layout

    Change page size, orientation, fonts, and add page breaks to format output.
