Introduction

This extension can insert powermail data to an html document and transform it to PDF.

• Set config.baseUrl
• Add a valid TypoScript Setup Configuration to the page which uses the powermail form.
• Add static template bvt_powermail_pdf
• Create a html template which should be rendered to pdf and set the filepath in TypoScript Setup.

  settings {
    # Activate powermail pdf
    activate = 1

    # Show download link on success page

    # Send PDF via Email?
    email{
      attachFile = 0
    }

    # Link settings

      extTarget = _blank
    }
