I believe there is no option in knack to email the pdf attachment of displayed page. Is there any freeware way to do the same using JS.

Hello Kevin,

Yes it's a webpage and&nbsp;we email this link when someone click on link we have an option to download this PDF or directly print option.

Sunny, I like this pdf example. How did you set this up to work in Knack? Can this PDF then be emailed automatically?

Could I ask why you want to generate a PDF rather than give the user access to the record securely? Creating a PDF output isn’t nartive to Knack as it’s extracting data and emailed rather than sharing.   
Is it possible to move on from email?
