==================
I create a feedback form that contains the name and surname of a participant on an event.
Is there any way (plugin limesurvey setting etc), after the form submission by the participant, to automatically create an attendance certificate for the event, with the name of the participant on it?
Ideally the certificate should be available after form submission, but it can also sent by email if this cannot happen.

You can built a custom plugin which generates the certificate & email to the user.
The plugin event you can look into is: www.limesurvey.org/manual/AfterSurveyComplete

Thanks a lot. Developing a custom plugin is not an option at this moment I am affraid.

However, I have managed to do it by customizing the END MESSAGE to something like the code below.

This simple example shows a print button which is hidden from the printed certificate.

Also the name and surname code question fields are taken. I have not yet tried the certificate ID but I think it will work.

I present this as a solution to the readers of this thread, without messing with plugins.

<style type="text/css">@media print {
#printPageButton {
display: none;
}
}
</style>
<div id="printPageButton"><button onclick="window.print();">print the certificate</button><br /><br /><small>If you do not see the print button, print from your browser just like any other page.</small></div>

<p> </p>


<p>name: {name}</p>

<p>surname: {surname}</p>

<p>certificate ID: {SAVEDID}</p>

Hi,
have a look at the plugin "pdfReport".
[url] gitlab.com/SondagesPro/ExportAndStats/pdfReport [/url]

This doos exactly what you want (create a good looking pdf, which is sent to the respondent.
There is a demo included.
