Is it possible to download a PDF of submissions in a specific date range?

    Dear JotForm,

    First of all congratulations on your great work! Keep it up! I've been a user for several months now and I'm more than satisfied overall.

    Here's a little suggestion for you: it would be extremely useful to give users an option when they hit the Download All button in PDF Editor in order to choose the date range (or form's id, or anything that identifies a form or a bunch of forms) of the pdf's they want to download. For example, I mainly use JotForm to collect contact info. This is a daily task in my business. Sometimes the number of forms is too big to download all the pdf's one by one. To speed things up I choose the Download All option and then I have to wait for the pdf's to be compressed and downloaded only to take those 50-60 pdf's I need. If you put an option for the user to sort out the forms he/she wants to download things would be better for both sides (user and JotForm). You won't have to compress huge amounts of pdf files when someones wants to download just a few of them and of course the user will immediately get the right amount of the files he/she wants to download.

    Please consider this suggestion and let me know if you found it of any purpose. In case this option already exists but I'm unaware of it, please let me know as well.


    Sincerely,

    Panos

    It is possible to download submissions in a specific date range.  From the submission view, click the gear icon near the top right.  Select the Custom Time Frame option from the time frame drop down box. then set the range:


    submission   custom date search Screenshot 10


    Only the submissions displayed in the time frame would be downloaded.

    Thanks for your answer!

    I've tried this way but the pdf files I get are in groups. So now I must separate those pdfs using third party software. Forgive me If I'm doing it wrong but this solution doesn't work for me because I want to save each file separately. Anything about that?

    Sincerely,

    Panos

    There isn't currently a way to bulk download submissions to individual PDF files.  Submissions can be exported individually one per PDF, but the bulk download options group multiple submissions per file.
