    Asked on January 27, 2021 at 8:31 AM

    Hi there, I would like to create a questionnaire form that allows us to ask users series of questions, each question must be on seperate page and after they click next they get the next question, then the answers from users will be inserted into a template document provided and after the questions have been answered they will get a preview of their questions and answers, then they will get a payment page that allows then put in their payment details to pay for the final document they requested for. The answers they provided will be inserted into a template document which I will provide and they can download after payment. I've attached a website link that has this form feature exactly as I want it.

    You may use the card form to create your questionnaire.

    https://www.jotform.com/help/491-how-to-create-a-jotform-card

    You can then enable the preview before submit to let your form respondents view their answers before submitting the form.

    https://www.jotform.com/help/522-how-to-enable-review-before-submit-feature-in-jotform-cards

    We also have a PDF document feature in which you can save your submission data into a PDF document and attach it to your email.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to collect credit card credentials in the form.

    You may however, use our available payment integration for payments.

    The pdf function is not what I am looking for, what I want is after the
    users fill out the questionnaire, their answers will be attached to a
    document template that I have already and thats what will be sent out to
    them via email. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    If I understand your requirement properly, You are referring to receive a copy of the questionnaire which is filled by users and also send it to the user? To achieve this please refer to the below guide:

    I'm sorry but I think you still don't get what I meant. Please have a look
    at the website link I sent as reference it has a clear picture of what I
    want. For example I have a will document template that I use for my clients
    as I'm an attorney so the questionnaire will ask them there names and other
    questions which will then be filled into that will template along with the
    other text in that template then the users will have access to download it
    after they make payment. I'm looking to create over 20 forms like that.
    Here is the reference website link again.

    Hi,

    It seems that you are looking for the Smart PDF Forms. That is the only feature we have that will take a form template and populate the file with the answers on the form. Please note that once you entered data, forms will be appended to their original template

    Let us know if you need any further assistance, we would be glad to assist you.

    You can add a payment integration in your form for you respondents to pay before they can submit the form.

    Okay I think this is good, it should still serve the putpose of what I'm
    looking for, bit let me put the scenario well yo you from what I've
    understood so far in our discussions...
    1. I create a smart pdf form where users answer some questions I set and
    their answers are then populated into a pdf template document of mine..
    2. They get a preview of the final result
    3. They make payment for the document and the documents are available for
    them to download.
    All these after the form is embedded unto my site.
    Please tell me if all these is right?
    Thank you.

    Yes, IMO the steps are correct in terms that it is possible to achieve through JotForm.

    To summaries what my colleagues have mentioned:

    1 & 2) Create Smart PDF Forms and preview final result https://www.jotform.com/products/smart-pdf-forms/

    So can I create one smart pdf form with the free plan just to test before I
    can purchase an higher plan.

    Yes, that is correct. Your account can be on a Starter plan first while you are still testing the workflow of your form(s).

    However, I just would like to give you a heads up, and just so it is clear, your form respondents will have a way to Preview the PDF using the Preview PDF button that you can enable on the form

    1612036297 6015b8c92d596 zt210130 144040 Screenshot 10

    but, on the Preview PDF page, there is already an option to download the PDF.

    1612036253 6015b89d3c358 zt210130 144156 Screenshot 21

    This means that if you want your respondents to only get a copy of the PDF after they made a payment then the only option would be is to disable the Preview PDF button.

    Feel free to let us know if you need any further assistance.
