    We have a ASP.NET/Bootstrap website that we want to create a "Get a quote now" form, with various options and free form fields. Once the user submits the form we want an option to download the completed form as a PDF, or for it to automatically download. Is this possible with JotForm? Thanks Paul

    You can attach a PDF in the Autoresponder Email or you can put a PDF link in the Thank You page. In this way, the user will be able to get a copy of the form submission in PDF.

    Autoresponder is the email alert that will be receive by the user after completing the form. In the email, you can attach a PDF. Here's how:

    1. In the Form Builder, click the "Emails" button.
