    Is there anyway so that it exports with First,Last Name or vice-versa instead of random numbers when converting it to a PDF ?

    UPDATE: We are excited to announce that we have just released the new version of JotForm PDF Editor.

    It seems like you're referring to the PDF report's name, unfortunately, it can only contain the submission ID number. We could open a feature request for this if you want, we cannot provide a time frame, but will keep you updated via this thread. 

    Let us know.

    Currently, the file naming of PDF reports is based on the submission ID because every submission has it and it is unique for every submission. File naming based on fields can be complicated since fields of different forms vary. Fields such as First Name and Last Name can be deleted and added anytime by users while submission ID is permanent. However, I raised this as a feature request to our developers. You will be informed once this is implemented.

    Along with the much-enhanced customization options, now you are able to change the name of your PDF files based on the fields of your form!
