WordPress contact form email as PDF

Question

I am using the below code for my WordPress site which is emailing all the form details as an HTML text but I need the details to be written into a PDF first and then have to email the PDF as an attachment. How can I achieve this? This is not a PHP code to use PHP's writePDF modules. So, any idea or any code to implement this?

This has been asked before.

Convert HTML + CSS to PDF with PHP?

PrinceXML looks quite incredible, it will even execute JavaScript and apply CCS3 transforms before the conversion!

WKHTMLTOPDF also looks like a great option. With either it looks like you will have to write out the rendered HTML to disk and then use the utility.
