Hey, I'm pretty new to muse and I'm trying to work out if it's possible to create something like you see on this site:
I want a form that captures the data before allowing a download of a PDF. Is there a widget for this or something I can do?
Thanks so much for any help!
Something like this very simple to achieve „out of the box“ (sorry for that, Nancy 😞

Simple things are rarely as simple as people think.
What will the form data be used for?
What if the user enters a bogus email, will they still receive the download?
Why not just give people a direct link to the PDF file?
What does your server support in the way of server-side scripts and databases?

(The wording of the commands might be slightly different, because I am not sitting in front of my computer. Sorry for that!)

But what if the OP's server doesn't support PHP scripts?
What if they want to collect data and store it in an online database or send it to a mailing list service like Mailchimp?
And what if the email address given is fake?
I am very reluctant to suggest an out of the box soluiton that might not be right for the job.

Don’t worry! In this case he certainly will ask again.
I bet, he doesn’t intend to use a backend data base.
