    Hello

     

    https://www.jotform.com/answers/1396338-Print-the-PDF-directly-from-the-Thank-You-Page

     

    How can this be done on a multi-page form (It seems that the thankyou page has limited editability)?

    Yes, you can only add the PDF Download in the Thank you page as shown in your reference thread. To print, you will need to download the PDF and print it manually.

    If you want to print the form as it is - with data on fields, you can add a submit button on each page and enable print button on each;

    But where can I see the thank you page editor on multi-step forms? (I only can edit the text and add link, bold, italic).

    The thank you editor for card layout is limited, but you can add the PDF tag there as shown below:

    If you want a customized message, you may consider sending an autoresponder email instead;

    In the autoresponder email, you can add the PDF link or enable PDF Attachment.

    Hello, I managed to include the link, but once I click on it in a test submission, i get


    {"error":"You're not authorized","success":false,"duration":"0.022"}

    Your submission privacy is enabled, and at the same time, your account is set for GDPR Compliance. You need to uncheck such privacy if you wish to let submitters download the PDF.

    Go to My Account - Settings: https://www.jotform.com/myaccount/settings check for the Privacy section.

    I advise the product handles the errors better in cases like that...that's really bad UX :(

    Hi, in addition to this thread, how can I translate this link Anchor -> Download Submission PDF ?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to translate it.

    You can also send a PDF report to your user via an Autoresponder Email by enabling the PDF Attachment option.
