abstract.pfg2pdf

A PFG action for creating and downloading a PDF built with data from user input.

Usage

Add Form Folder and add a FormToPDFAdapter to it.

On the adapter, in the field PDF-Body Template you can insert the ZPT code that will be used to generate the PDF. In the field download timeout you can set the amount of seconds that will pass before the download starts.

Once you add the form adapter to the form, the pdf_redirect view will be applied to the thanks page configured in the form. In this way, whenever the user gets to the final page the download will start after the timeout you set on the adapter.

NOTE: if you create/change the thanks page associated w/ the form, remember to apply the view to it.

You can do it by goint to this URL: http://myplone/myform/thanks-page/setLayout?layout=pdf_redirect.
