I think the best way to do this is to clone the behaviour of the current excel and csv export feature.</p> <p>If you look into export_entries.php, around line 346 you'll see the code to do the csv export</p> <pre><code>}elseif ($type == &#39;csv&#39;){ if(!$column_label_has_printed){ fputcsv($out, $column_label); $column_label_has_printed = true; } foreach ($form_data as $row_data){ fputcsv($out, $row_data); } }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> I suppose you could replace that fputcsv() part with your own pdf write function. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/getting-info-for-pdf-document#post-1500 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:27:47 +0000 Saghalie 1500@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>This might be beyond the scope of your support but I thought I would ask anyway.</p> <p>I've edited your code so that I can create PDF documents (Export As:); the only problem I have is that I have to open the database and find the fields I need and manually add them to the code and <strong>then</strong> Export as PDF.</p> <p>What code do I need to get MachForm to propigate to the PDF? I've been trying to decipher what you have already in there but since I don't have a lot of time to sit and stare at the code to find the logic - I thought I would ask and see if you could get me started out.</p> <p>Mashie!</p> <p>Saghalie<br /> <a href="http://www.beautiful-beginnings.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.beautiful-beginnings.org</a> </p>
