How can I print the page in a pdf so it resembles the online form?

    In adobe online forms we could print a PDF that resembled the online form. Can we still do this with JotForms?

    In the submission folder, I select a submission and click edit and it appears as the online form yet when I select pdf I receive a domain error.

    Hi,

    While viewing your submissions, there is an option to include headers and text in your submissions:

    Here is a bit more in depth guide on having your printed/PDF form look like the full contract:

    https://www.jotform.com/help/305-How-to-show-headers-or-text-for-contracts-terms-agreements-in-the-PDF-format-of-a-submission

    This is as close as we can get, short of printing the data in the form itself.

    If you could let us know a bit more about the error when trying to download the PDF, possibly including a screenshot, we will be happy to have a closer look into that issue.  As far as I can tell, the PDF copy of submissions should be working.

    Hello,
    We want the print pdf of the form as it appears in the screen shot. I click edit and select get pdf and it downloads the pdf then I get the invalid url warning.
    We want the form to print exactly how it appears along with the applicants information.
    Thank you,

    There is actually a neat way that will allow you to do that and you can see it here: How to print a form exactly as it is when viewed, but with the user entered data?

    Do let us know if that would work for you Michael.

    You should be able to use your browser print functionality as well.  I checked the submission view and the edit link from the notification, the Print button was not greyed out or inaccessible:

    I was able to use the Print button functionality when using either method.
