Export Form Email Tool allows you to send out an email with a form attached in PDF format. Apart from configuring the normal email plugin, the only other configuration you will need to do would be on the selection of the form to be attached and the desired file name for the attachment.

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| From | Sender email address. |
| To (Specific email address) | Recipient fully qualified address. |
| To (Participant ID) | Participant ID(s) according to the process flow it resides in. Multiple values can be accepted by separating them with semicolons. When To (Specific email address) and To (Participant ID) are both populated, email will be sent to both. |
| CC | Fully qualified address is expected. Multiple values can be accepted by separating them with semicolons. CC: lets you send a copy of a message to someone who's interested, but is not the primary recipient. |
| BCC | Fully qualified address is expected. Multiple values can be accepted by separating them with semicolons. Both Cc and Bcc forward a copy of the message to everyone you've listed. The main difference between Cc or Carbon copy and Bcc (Blind carbon copy) is that, with the latter, the recipients do not get to know each other. |
| Subject | Email Subject. |
| Message | Email Message. |
| HTML Content? | Check if "Message" is intended to be a HTML content. |

Font & Unicode There are a few fonts (added by default) that you can use in CSS formatting. They are:
serif, sans-serif, monospace, Courier, TimesRoman,
For Unicode content, you can use the following fonts for Asian languages (i.e., Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean):
STSong-Light, MSung-Light, HeiseiMin-W3, HYGoThic-Medium
Note : "STSong-Light" gives the best result for Chinese; "MSung-Light" for Traditional Chinese; "HeiseiMin-W3" for Japanese; and "HYGoThic-Medium" for Korean.
*{font-family:HYGoThic-Medium;}
Example for Thai Unicode: 1. Add the following CSS into Export Form Email Tool > "Formatting (CSS)" field: @font-face {
src: url(http://localhost:8080/THSarabun.ttf);
-fs-pdf-font-embed: embed;
-fs-pdf-font-encoding: Identity-H;
}
*{font-family: 'TH SarabunPSK';}
2. Download the THSarabun.ttf font file and copy it to "[Tomcat Directory]/webapps/ROOT" folder. Note: From Joget v6.0.18, it now supports adding additional font for datalist pdf export and FormPdfUtil by adding the font file to folder "/wflow/fonts" directory and configure the font in "fonts.csv" file in the same directory with format "font family name, file name, encoding". For the sample, kindly refer to the "fonts.csv" file.
