Learn-to-send-email-via-google-script-html-no-server: Request for further enhancement

[zfhassaan]

Hi,
Thanks for creating such a helpful repository. Could you guys please enhance it and generate a pdf on form submission which is then sent on the email address? Thanks

A PDF view of the form may be tricky to generate. It also turns out that PDFs of web pages can be tricky to render or make look right (if they are big enough / don't scale well). Server-side (on the Google Script) could be even trickier if you want it to look like the HTML form, but just a view of the submitted data may be feasible.

We also have not solved sending images much less files via this form, so even if we could generate a PDF clientside, it may not get saved to Google Drive correctly. Do we want it saved to Google Drive? Do we want it forwarded as an attachment, or is a URL sufficient?

We already display information that users send in multiple ways: Google Spreadsheet & each submission as an email. I have zero interest in adding a third method to further complicate this tutorial that is decently complicated. 😆

I'd prefer to leave that as an exercise / challenge for the reader. 😉
