    How do I change the naming convention of a form when I download individual entries.

    For instance, I would like to Include {First Name} {Last Name} - {Form Name} when downloading

    Hi there,

    If I understood correctly you are referring to using the naming convention for PDF downloads? If yes then here is how you can change it. In your PDF editor please click on the blue paint roller.

    Then click on Customize and scroll down until you see the PDF FILENAME and click on the pen icon.

    Now the form field option will become visible. Please click on it to select or deselect the fields You want to use as names.

    Thanks, this gets me almost there.
    How can I add the title name of the form into the file name also
    Same question for integration and google drive.

    I would like to end up with eg: Jane Doe - Member Details.pdf for instance
    Thanks

    Here's how you can achieve your required filename for the PDF copy of your form submissions.

    Thanks for the example. This is not a PDF form.
    I’m downloading it from the submissions > view > download > download pdf
    If I customize PDF, will changes I make here apply to just that particular (entry) and can I apply that to all entries.

    Hello!

    - I’m downloading it from the submissions > view > download > download pdf. If I customize PDF, will changes I make here apply to just that particular (entry) and can I apply that to all entries.

    This customization will be applied to PDF downloads of all entries.

    Thank you!
