I have a requirement to create a form, let users fill it out, and then email it to the user as a PDF.
I am using AEM 6 and can create the form easily mimicking the Geometrixx Gov sample forms. But how can I save the collected data into PDF? In the submit action, I only see these options:
Submit to REST endpoint
Store content action
Email action
Submit to Forms workflow
If you have AEM with Adobe LiveCycle ES - you could pass the data to LC ES to create a PDF document. Here is an artilce showing that use case:

Without LC - to create a PDF that captures the submitted data - you can build a custom solution.
First - post the AEM 6 form data to a custom OSGi service. See this community article to learn how to do that:

Then build a custom AEM PDF service. You can do that using a PDF lib like PDFBOX:
