    Please note that it takes lot of server resources to create the PDF reports on the fly, especially if you have a long form or images on your entries. The purpose of this limit is for the stability of the system and to prevent system from crashing.

    Ok tha ks for this bit in the past I have been able to do at 10 at a time. Now I can only do max and only the same five. I can’t select any of the other 50 to download in PDF format unless I do 1 by 1
    Kind regards.

    In order to download the other submissions, you would need to filter the results first. Please check out Step 4 of this guide in order to do so: https://www.jotform.com/help/73-How-to-Download-Form-Submissions-as-Excel-CSV-PDF

    I may have found a cheat for you. When selecting the timeframe, select This Year so that it will cover all of your submissions, then go on and download the PDF. The resulting file would be a zipped file with multiple pdf documents. Please have a look at it and let us know if it works for you.

    If you'll notice on my earlier screencast, based on my download, the zip file contains 5 PDF documents. Each PDF contains 10 submission data. This results in 50 submissions all in all.

    If this is not the case for you, please share a screenshot or a link to a video that shows the PDF file doesn't contain multiple submissions.
