actually i provide a download link to "view"-pdfs in every confirmation email. Works perfectly. But the customer needs this pdf as an attachement - not a download-link. How can i manage this?   thanks, tom

If you have a Business or Elite license, use the PDF add-on and follow these directions: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/pdfs/#kb-attach-pdf-of-entry-to-email

thnks for your answer.
i have a "Formidable Pro Elite Package". But when i activate the "Attach PDF of entry to email" option, the attached pdf only shows the summary of all entries. Not the custom view i created.

Hey Rob, thanks! I have two view-ids - for two different languages. How can i implement this in this hook?
View 902 for de, View 970 for en.

I'm not really sure because when you're in the PHP program, you likely only have access to the server language. You can try something like this, but I'm not sure it'll work https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-detect-browser-language-in-php/

is there a way to solve it with [get_current_language]? This is already implemented to the form to send language-specific confirmation emails

with this: 
add_filter( 'frm_pdfs_email_attachment_args', 'add_view_to_attached_pdf', 10, 2 );
function add_view_to_attached_pdf( $pdf_args, $args ) {
	$pdf_args['view'] = 902 ; // ID of view.
	
	return $pdf_args;
}
I get the last three entries in one pdf as attachement. How can i reduce it to the current entry? thx, tom

In the example on the FF site, you'll see
$pdf_args['id'] = $args['entry']->id;
