Is it possible to send a pdf of a form to a mySQL database?

Hello, 

I'm trying to make a user portal in which the users can access certain forms from my database based on some permissions. I'm able to get all of the form data I need into the database via $_POST data just fine, but I was wondering if there is a way to send a pdf version of the form into the database as a blob so I can pull it out of the database later. I noticed you have a field {pdf link} available when creating the autoresponder and notifier emails, but the {pdf link} is no where to be found in the form source code. Is there a way I can access it? 

Thanks

Have you tried using the {pdf-link} tag instead when sending it in the PHP script?

It should still be possible, I tried it using this link in my custom "Thank You" URL:

http://www.example.com/?pdf={pdf-link} 

I get the link that will generate the PDF submission, but not the PDF itself.

Let us know if that will work.

Sorry, I'm not sure if I get what you mean. Do you mean I should change the link to the custom "Thank You" page to include the '?pdf={pdf-link}' ? The link you posted gives me an information page about example.com.

The PDF link has the following format:

http://www.jotform.com/pdf-submission/{id}

Where {id} is a submission ID, so you can get the ID with "$_POST['submission_id'];" in PHP and use it to construct a valid PDF link. I hope it helps.

Thank you! This helps me a lot.

Do you know if there is a link that opens a pdf in a browser window rather than downloading directly? If not, thats fine, I'm just curious. 

You are welcome.

It is most likely that we do not provide the view link, but you can try with some remote viewer. For example with a Google Docs Viewer:
