Generate PDF using Contact Form 7

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.
