Issue with emailing PDFs of submissions

  • Churchie
    Asked on March 22, 2021 at 8:27 PM

    We have a specific jotform that is used multiple times every weekday to record absences. Submissions to this form are emailed as a PDF. Recently some of these PDFs have been coming through largely not filled out, corrupted, or not attached to the email at all. When I go in to the form and download these same submissions as PDFs they download and open fine. Could you please help us resolve this issue.

    Greetings,

    Thank you for sending the requested details. Could you please allow us to send test submissions on your form? I'm unable to replicate the issue in a clone of your form. Please also confirm if the issue occurred again after these submissions or if it is still present? Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you.

    Greetings,

    I've just sent some test submissions on your form and the PDF seems to be working as expected.

    We are still seeing similar issues today. For example submission 4925136502241394557 has sent through the PDF, but Page 2 has no heading at the top and the last couple of pages are not formatted correctly.

    Greetings,

    I've checked your PDF document and looks like this is how it is created. Following is the screenshot of Page-2 in the PDF editor.
