API documentation: request to add API link to download PDF to the documentation page

How can I download the original PDF with the submission data via the Jotform API?

Hi brfi,

Thanks for reaching out to us for help. We do not have an API endpoint to download the PDFs automatically or get the actual PDF files, but you can construct the PDF link manually via API so that you can download the PDF files. Please use the URL below to download the PDF file:

https://www.jotform.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid=SubmissionID&formID=FormID

You can also use this URL below:

https://www.jotform.com/pdf-submission/SubmissionID

You need to replace the SubmissionID and FormID (bolded) with the actual submission ID and form ID you retrieved through API.

Reach out again if you have any other questions.

It seems like it is possible but there's no documentation on it.

https://api.jotform.com/pdf-converter/{formId}/fill-pdf?download=1&submissionID={sumissionID}&apikey={apiKey} would work and was mentioned as an answer for some similar questions. Is this something that is officially supported? If yes, can you please add documentation for that?

Hi brfi,

Yes, that link is supported. However, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers to add this to our API documentation. But when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

Hi James,
