Is there a way to create a PDF from the form entry which then gets sent to user/admin?

I have the PDF plugin but it doesn't appear to do this.

To create the PDF you need to go to your form/form properties/user or admin emails and selet yes for 'Attach to Admin Email'
Once you've done that you need to add the content of the PDF. If you click on 'toggle quick add' (top right) all your form caption and value placeholders are available, highlight and drag into place.
Heres an example form one of mine, as you can see you need html for the layout including the <head>.....</head> and <body>.....</body> tags. You can use the <style>....</style> tags in the <head> to add a bit of Css in case you want for example your h2's to be green etc.

<p><b>Name:</b> {Title:value} {Forename:value} {Surname:value}<br>
<b>Joined:</b> {date:value}</p>

<p><b>Address:</b><br>
{Housename or Number:value}<br>
{Address1:value}<br>
{if {Address 2:value}}{Address 2:value}<br>{/if}<!--If field has no value do not show-->
{Town:value}<br>
{Postcode:value}<br>
{if {county:value}}{county:value}<br>{/if}<!--If field has no value do not show-->
{if {country:value}}{country:value}<br>{/if}<!--If field has no value do not show-->
</p>
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you obviously don't understand the situation!

Thank you

On first sight it looked like I had to attach a pre existing PDF file.
