I want to create an app that I can first, fill in fields in a in a pdf, then have the option to send the filled out pdf via email but with a drop down option of domain. Can anyone guide me through this or point me in the right direction?
You might benefit from the resources here to help you learn to use the AI2 tools A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor’s Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 … the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book ‘teaches’ users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles
This is possible.

Specifically related to guidance for your app’s main features, search the forum for pdf (you probably will need an extension) , email with attachments (you will need an extension or a dedicated server Different eMail solutions for App Inventor).

So far very basic apps, nothing special. I still learning but I’m ambitious but time is not a resource I have much of.
