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.
Note
For PDF we have used MPDF library so in admin side it’s support Below HTML and CSS with editor to generate PDF.

I found this plugin helpful but one little problem this plugin don’t support Bengali language. Can you please add support for Bengali language? I see pdf generation problem if any field contain bangla text.
Bit scant on documentation but easy to work out. Does exactly what I need it to do.
I started testing this plugin almost 10 months ago: all the main features worked fine since the beginning.
I Just found a privacy issue related to storage of PDF files generated by the plugin. Latest updates actually resolved the issue with two options: Enable PDF Link with Form and Remove PDF after mail sent. These options also help prevent overload of PDF files into the media library.
4 stars (and not 5) just because the plugin is not properly prepared for localization: this issue makes actually difficult to translate the plugin texts and share translations with the WP community.
Great job anyway! Ready for the fifth star, guys!
