    Hi,

    I have designed a PDF form downloaded in imports.

    I can preview my form and send it by email, but cannot figure out how to import the form in the tapforms database and use them.

    Best regards,

    Guy.

    Hello Guideon,

    You can attach a PDF file to a record using a File Attachment field type. But you will not be able to fill out the form, only view your PDF file within Tap Forms.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    What do you say about adding an export option to create an PDF file, just like you do with email? Then combining it with new email’s HTML templates, it could be a very powerful thing for those who enter data and just want other to read it.

    I’m definitely going to do something like that in conjunction with full AirPrint support. I’d also like the HTML templates to be configurable so an end-user could potentially upload their own templates. Making it easy is the tricky part as any kind of template system typically requires some knowledge of programming of sorts.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    For this matter, you probably should open another forum, where people would exchange the templates. So people, who don’t have skills or too lazy to do it themselves, would pick something suitable for them. But for that purpose, they would need to export the templates together with the forms….
