PDF TemplatesProNew in 5.7+

Create custom PDFs from HTML and Twig, then attach them to email notifications. Open Freeform → Settings → PDF Templates to manage them.

PDF templates remain editable when Craft's allowAdminChanges setting is false.

​Template Fields

  • Name — identify the template in the control panel.
  • Description — explain what the template generates.
  • File Name — the name of the generated PDF; Twig variables are supported.
  • PDF Body — the HTML and Twig used to generate the document.

Both the file name and body can use the email notification template variables.

​Attach a PDF to a Notification

Edit an Email Notification template and select the PDF templates to attach. You can attach more than one template to a notification.

​Loading Images

When using images in your PDF template, it's important to use dataUrl(asset) to create an inline Base64 image to avoid PDF image loading issues.

<div class="ticket-image">
  {% set image = craft.assets.id(123).one() %}
  {% if image %}
    <img src="{{ dataUrl(image) }}" alt="{{ image.alt ?? image.title }}" />
  {% endif %}
</div>

​Examples

See PDF Template Examples for a complete event-ticket template and its output.

See Settings for other configuration areas.
