   Hello,

   This might be beyond the scope of your support but I thought I would ask anyway.

   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 then Export as PDF.

   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.

   Mashie!

   Hmm.. I think the best way to do this is to clone the behaviour of the current excel and csv export feature.

   If you look into export_entries.php, around line 346 you'll see the code to do the csv export

   }elseif ($type == 'csv'){
   	if(!$column_label_has_printed){
   		fputcsv($out, $column_label);
   		$column_label_has_printed = true;
   	}
   
   	foreach ($form_data as $row_data){
           	fputcsv($out, $row_data);
           }
   }

   
   I suppose you could replace that fputcsv() part with your own pdf write function.

   Saghalie,
   could you share your code for the PDF generation please?
   I've been trying to get it worked out in a number of ways.
   I would like to have the "Export PDF" function on the confirm page.
   So a PDF can be generated before the data goes to the database.
   Thanks,
   Trevr.
