How to Send Magento 2 Generated Dynamic PDF in Email to Customers

Nowadays, Email has become a necessary part of the business for various purposes like company communications, marketing and coordinating with business partners, suppliers and customers. By Default, Magento 2 comes with built-in functionality of sending custom Emails to notify the customers as well as store owners for each and every activity. While working on extension development, we came across the requirement of generating, attaching & sending Magento 2 generated Dynamic PDF to customer Email. Throughout developing that functionality, we have tried & tested various code and finally, came out with a small piece of code that today I would like to share with you.

Mainly you need to create two separate files. One is to generate dynamic PDF and another one is to attach that PDF within mail.
Firstly Create Sendmail.php file at App/Code/Vendor/Extension/Controller/Index and write the following code in it.

<!--?php 
 
namespace <Namespace>\<Extension Name>\Controller\Index;
 
use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context;
use Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface;
use Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface;

use Magento\Framework\Translate\Inline\StateInterface;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action;
use Magento\Store\Model\Store;
use Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory;
use Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList;
 
class Sendmail extends Action
{
        	const XML_PATH_EMAIL_ADMIN_QUOTE_SENDER = 'emailcustom/general/sender';
        	const XML_PATH_EMAIL_ADMIN_QUOTE_NOTIFICATION = 'emailcustom/general/template';
        	const XML_PATH_EMAIL_ADMIN_EMAIL = 'emailcustom/general/reciver';
        	
 
        	protected $  scopeConfig;
        	protected $_modelStoreManagerInterface;
        	protected $  inlineTranslation;
        	protected $_logLoggerInterface;
        	protected $_transportBuilder;
        	protected $_mediaDirectory;
        	
        	public function __construct(
                    	Context $context,

<p>Now, you need to create another file at <strong>App/Code/Vendor/Extension/Model/Mail</strong> and write below code inside the file.</p>
<pre class="lang:default decode:true">

}
</pre>
<p>It’s all set now! Magento 2 is powered to generate and send dynamic PDF attachments with an Email. Not only this, you can even customize above code as per your requirement to generate dynamic pdf within your Magento store Environment.<br ?-->
Comment down below and let the below stars shine if the code has enough helped you to nail the solution.
