Create a pdf and send it by mail

  • Hi there,

    I created a template page to implement a purchase order. So in this page, i have my form and then my “controller” send the purchase order to me. But now, I want to create a pdf and link it to the mail.

    I tried html2pdf but I need composer to install dependencies, i’m on shared server so i don’t know if i can do that, and i don’t know how to.

    Is there any other solution ?

    My english sucks, I know and i’m sorry, I hope you will understand what’s my problem.

    I’m trying the plugin but i dont think it will help me. I don’t want to print in pdf my pages.

    In my php function, i take the order of the user. Typically like:

    $mail_message = “We have received your order. Thanks”;
    $pdf = “ORDER: ” . $_POST[‘order’];
    wp_mail($mail, $mail_message);

    But before send it by email, I would like to create a pdf with the message $pdf and join it to the mail. Like this, the user will receive an email to inform him that we have received his order and a pdf with his purchase order.

    Have you tried searching for other plugins?

    Be aware that printfriendly appears to send content to a third party site to render the PDF. If that is indeed true, this could raise serious security and privacy issues under some circumstances. I would expect other plugins may do something similar.

    Unless you can render PDFs on your own server, I’d look to other formats for sending the customer’s PO.

    Yes, actually i wanted to render the pdf on my own server but i’m on a shared server and i don’t find how to install correctly html2pdf or fpdf which make what i want.

    Moreover, i don’t want to use a plugin for that because I try to reduce my number of them to have a better performance.

    I will probably search for different type of document maybe to render my order purchase.
