Generate form (developed in smartforms) to local drive

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a requirement that development a smartforms and output it into a local directory.

Let's say, the user will press on a button and it will generate a pdf file (developed from smartforms) into the user's local C drive.

Can someone provide me some guidelines? Is this possible to do it?

Any clues are appreciated.

Thank you.
