I’m looking to download a submission from a Form as a PDF so that I’m able to share all of the info submitted instead of copying and pasting as text. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

Hey @MM24!

I would love to help out. There are some interesting ways around this. I have some questions first. Where are you moving the data to that a PDF would be of benefit in the process? How much information is your form generating?

Sincerely,

Sean

Hi Sean, I want to be able to download all of the data of a submission onto a PDF that I can save to my computer to reference later without having to be on Hubspot, and also share those individual submissions with other external people.

I’m currently experiencing this issue. As a scenario example, the person that receives the emails is OOO so I need to grab a single submission to send over to the team to process the order. In other platforms I get a little eye icon that will allow me to open up the submission and print to PDF. I can’t find anything like that in Hubspot. Is this just an overlooked feature and I have to manually copy and paste information into an email instead of generating proof of the order for the team?

Hi @MM24,

Happy to help here!

Would an email containing all information from the form submission also be acceptable? You can [set up form submission notifications by following these steps](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms/set-up-your-form-submission-notifications). These would land directly in the inbox of the person you would like to notify, as long as they also have a HubSpot user account.

If that’s not an option, this feature can be used for the first workaround: If you receive these emails yourself, you can can print them to PDF. (This is often a default printing option: [How to create a PDF: Options for desktop and mobile | Zapier](https://zapier.com/blog/create-pdf/))

Another option would be [Zapier](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/integrations/how-to-use-zapier-and-hubspot). You can trigger a Zap from each new form submission and then create a PDF. One example of how this could look is explained here: [Create a PDF with Zapier](https://www.process.st/help/docs/create-a-pdf-with-zapier/)

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

Hi Karsten - thanks for the tips. With a form of hundreds of entries, setting up email notifications would flood an inbox. I’d be looking to download individual, specific forms that I choose from the list of submissions. Perhaps this is more of a vent than problem-solving, just seems like there’s only workarounds for an issue that seems decently straightforward to include.

Hi @MM24,

In that case, you could set up a Zapier sync that only creates a PDF for contacts from a specific static list. Whenever you need a PDF, you’d move a contact to that list and Zapier would take care of the PDF.

And I agree, it would be nice if there was an easier solution.

I also just noticed that there is an app in the marketplace for this: [HubSpot Marketplace](https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/marketing/data-management/form-submission-pdf-generator-239645)

Hope this helps!
