    Hi Diego,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Can you please explain more about what you want to achieve? Are you referring to the default PDF document of the form? Is yes, you can change it from the PDF Editor. Let me walk you through it:

    1. In the Form Builder, click on the app menu tab at the top of the page and select PDF Editor.Create a button tp send PDF on imported table Image 1 Screenshot 30
    2. In the PDF Editor, click on +New PDF and select New PDF Form. A new PDF document will be generated.Create a button tp send PDF on imported table Image 2 Screenshot 41

    After we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

    Thanks. I go to Submissions. I create a new table data by adding a tab, and the importing the data. When I create a button on this tab to Send File to google drive, it doesn´t let me pick the various pdf files created with the pdf editor. Ot only allows one choice, and that is "Default", wich is not even in the pdf file. I understand that these created tabs have many restrictions. Please confirm if this has a solution. Thanks again.

    Hi DIEGO,

    Thanks for getting back to us. To make sure I understand what you are trying to do you want to send all the submissions of PDF Files to Google Drive? If so, you can try to integrate the Google Drive Integration into your form. Let me show you how to do that:

    1. In Form Builder, click Settings on the orange navigation bar.
    2. Select Integration on the left side of the panel.
    3. Then, select Authenticate and connect your Google Drive Account, and click Add Action.
    4. Enter your desired folder name, and choose the PDF File Template to use.
    5. If your form accepts file uploads, you can choose to send the uploaded files to your Google Drive.
    6. Once you are done, click Save.

    Yes. In the form buider you can choose the pdf file. But in Submissions, where it shows the tables, it is possible to create new tabs.

    In the new created tables in added tab, I can add buttons. But when adding the buttons, not on the main table, but on added tabs, which are tables that contain imported data, it is not possible to choose beteween the various PDF, but only accepts what it callls Default.
