Hi ricohmxadmin,

How can I store the PDF export form in a submission field?

Could you please provide us with more information about your request so that we can assist you better? What do you mean by storing PDF export in a submission field? You can send a submission to your email as a PDF document with PDF Attachments in Notification Email. Here's how you can do,

1) Go to Settings > Emails,

2) Click on the pen icon after hovering on your notification email,

3) Go to the Advanced tab,

4) Switch PDF Attachment to On and select your PDF document.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Hi Sylas,

What I want to do is to store the PDF URL on the submission table once the submission is made. Is there any way to achieve that? Or is there any way to know the submission number so I can save it on a text field before the user click on the submit button?

Thanks again!

Regards.

Hi ricohmxadmin,

As per checking, it is not possible to store the PDF link of a submission as a field in Tables. Also, a PDF document gets created once a form is submitted; these are form-specific PDF documents (containing different submission data). Thus, there's no way to obtain a specific PDF link and send it as a form field.

I have escalated your request to our developers (PDF link as a form field). However, I can’t give you an ETA on it, as it depends on their workload. You will be informed via this thread if they have any updates.

Alternatively, you can keep track of PDF documents in PDF Editor (from recent to old submissions), and you'll be able to see Submission ID in both Tables and PDF Editor.

To make Submission ID visible in Tables, click Columns on the top right and select Submission ID:

To view Submission ID in PDF Editor,

1) Click Add Element on the left,

2) Under Basic Elements, drag and drop the Submission ID element into your template.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Thanks Sylas,

How I solved it temporarily is exporting my submission table in an Excel and concatenating:

• "https://www.jotform.com/pdf-submission/" + Submission ID

Is there any way to create a formula on the table to concatenate text and a field content automatically? Just like I did it using CONCAT function in excel as my example above.

I really appreciate your help.

Regards.

You can concatenate two fields in the Tables page this way using the following Advanced Formula.

Thanks.
