    Thank you for contacting us. That happens when the total size of attachments exceeds the 5MB limit that supports the email notification. Let us know if you have more questions.

    Unfortunately when you click the link, it docent work. 


    In an effort the get the PDF to my client for this time sensitive form, I tried to go in and print from JotFrom to PDF... here is what i get (see attachment)


    Nothing in the form changed that should have made it suddenly be larger than a 5MB file size, its just text

    We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. If the PDF attachments were failing to be generated we used the old PDF-Editor to generate the files or attach a download link to the email.

    Are you still experiencing the issue?

    Could you let us know if we can send a test submission to the form to test it from our end?

    I removed an image from the PDF, that must have reduced the file size enough to fix it , as I just did a test and it worked after removing the logo... apparently it must have been the 5mb issue

    I am glad to know that you received PDF attachment in notification email alert. I have sent a test submission in your form "HUSBANDRY FORM". Please check if you have received email with PDF attachment or not. 

    Do get back to us if the issue persists.
