Posted on by SanaAB

Hello, I want to generate multiple pdf at once and send it through email.

The scenario will be like this:

1. The user will select several names from a combo box selection

2. The user will click on a button to generate the pdf

I want to create certificates for each selected name on a pdf and send those pdfs through email. Is that possible?

For example the user selected 5 names from a combo box when clicking on the generate pdf button, 5 pdfs should be created using the 5 names and then those pdfs should be sent through mail.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I already tried this and it worked for only one pdf. My goal is to generate several pdf at once using the values selected from the combo box and send them through the email

@v-chengfen-msft Thanks a lot for your deep explanation.

I just have a question, those pdfs should be already saved in the share point jbefore. which means I cannot create it using the names from the combo box. And then send them through the email.

In my case, the values in the combos is not from the share point. It is from office365 getting the names of all employees in the company. Here is the code of the combo box:
Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ComboBox1.SearchText}).DisplayName

To explain more about the request, There request was choosing specific names from a combo box, and then the app will create a pdf certificates containing a text and the name of each employee from the combo box. Then send those created certificates through the email.

For example, the user chose the names (Nadi, Sam, Marry) and then clicked on a button called generate pdf.
The app should create 3 pdfs each one contains the same text but different name. And then send those pdfs through the mail to the user.

Thanks again for your response, and I hope there is a way to create and send the pdf at once.
