When someone completes and submits the online form, can it convert to PDF upon completion or upon receipt? Or is this something I need to do manually?

    Yes it is possible to achieve your requirement. You do not have to manually convert to PDF. 

    I would suggest you to please add {pdf-link} tag in your form's notification email alert. When form is submitted, you will receive notification email which will include a clickable link. Clicking on this link will download the submission PDF. Please check the screenshot below on how to add {pdf-link} tag in email alert:

    It is also possible to send submission PDF as attachment in email alerts as well. You may like to take a look at the following guide which should help you:  https://www.jotform.com/help/503-How-to-include-submissions-as-PDF-attachment-in-the-email-notifications 

    You can also download submission PDF from your form's submission page. You may like to take a look at the following guide which should help you:  https://www.jotform.com/help/73-How-to-Download-Form-Submissions-as-Excel-CSV-PDF
