Hi KCC24,
for days now I’m trying to use TCPDF, but it doesn’t seem to work. Even without image the submit button loads forever, no email is sent and no pdf created. The code I’m using is originally the same as yours. My adaption for using it with TCPDF looks like this:

add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'wpcf7_update_email_body');
// add Contact Form 7 to PDF function

	function wpcf7_update_email_body($contact_form) {

    $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    if ( $submission ) {

// Include the main TCPDF library (search for installation path).
require_once('tcpdf/examples/tcpdf_include.php');

	$posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();
    // SAVE FORM FIELD DATA AS VARIABLES
    $vorname = $posted_data["meta_guest-author"];
	$nachname = $posted_data["nachname"];
	$alter	 = $posted_data["meta_alter"];
    $strasse = $posted_data["strasse"];
	$hausnummer = $posted_data["hausnummer"];
	$plz = $posted_data["plz"];
    $ort = $posted_data["ort"];

$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);

    $pdf->AddPage();

	$pdf->Write(5,'Vorname: ');
	$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
    $pdf->Write(5,$vorname . "\n\n");
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,'Nachname: ');
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,$nachname . "\n\n");
	 $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,'Alter: ');
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,$alter . "\n\n");
	 $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,'Str.: ');
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,$strasse . "\n\n");
	 $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,'Hausnummer: ');
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,$hausnummer . "\n\n");
	 $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,'PLZ: ');
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,$plz . "\n\n");
	 $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,'Ort: ');
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
	$pdf->Write(5,$ort . "\n\n");
	 $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',11);

	$pdf->Output('test.pdf', 'F');
    }
    }

    add_filter( 'wpcf7_mail_components', 'mycustom_wpcf7_mail_components' );
    function mycustom_wpcf7_mail_components($components){
    if (empty($components['attachments'])) {
    $components['attachments'] = array('test.pdf'); // ATTACH THE NEW PDF THAT WAS SAVED ABOVE
    }
    return $components;
    }

Do you have a clue, why it’s not working?

Thank you!
