With createPDF sucessfully working, is it possible to use it to create a PDF to attach to an email all within PHP?

I'm familiar with how to attach files to emails, but wonder if there's a way of creating the PDF and not have it display as inline or a download but as a local file that I can then select to attach?

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

While this is possible, it's not currently supported by the plugin. If this is something you're interested in having, we can look at customizing the plugin for you through our consulting services.

Just go to www.interactivetools.com/hire-us/

Hope this helps.

Hi Jason,

It's OK thanks, I've worked out how to do it. Incidentally, I found that the code was producing an error which you might want to know about.

The call $data = createPDF_fromHTML($html); produced a warning message on line 76 of createPDF.php.
The line says unlink($tempPath); but at this point it seems that $tempPath doesn't exist, possibly as a result of the function call on line 72 (register_shutdown_function) but I'm not sure.

This error doesn't normally display because the function is usually followed up by outputting the PDF but thought you might be interested in having a look anyway.

Thanks, Paul.
