GetPDFForms Details

Use this method to retrieve a PDF for the HTML form that was submitted to your server. This method is best used behind the scenes after your server receives a form's posted form data (i.e. HTTP POST) during a Submit event. For example, if a user submits a form for validation and it passes validation you might call this service to get the PDF for archiving or routing through your workflow.
