rails form to pdf and save to amazon s3

Question

I have a form for users to fill out about specific attributes first_name,last_name etc. I need to generate a pdf from this form and also send an email with the pdf of the form as an attachment.

My approach was to save it to Amazon S3 and somehow attach it in the create method in my controller.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
