Allow using CSS and HTML in customized PDF designer

I have prepared an auto response email called 'Medication Form email PDF Print' for my form at:

https://www.jotform.com//?formID=61467715407863 

Is it possible to copy this exact layout into the customised PDF layout. This would allow me to provide respondents with a {pdf link} to save and print their form response.

I tried copying the source code from the email and pasting it into a text field in the customise PDF process - with no luck.

I need respondents to receive the from as a PDF so they can print it, write their name, sign and date the form then hand the document to me. (silly administrative rules I Know)

Rather than print the email, I need it to be a PDF so every form returned to me is the same and does not have a Google or hotmail or someone else's header and footer.

Thank you in anticipation.

 

 

Unfortunately, the Customize PDF feature does not allow insertion of codes like CSS or HTML. You need to use the available options in the PDF editor to redesign the layout of your PDF submissions.

 

The email field is quite different from the customize PDF, the email template can easily be formatted using HTML code using the text editor. The customize PDF feature, on the other hand, is a much more advance way to format your PDF layout, the source code cannot be edited as it is generated to a PDF structure and not HTML. I can forward this to our developers as a feature request if you want, however, I cannot guarantee that this can be implemented.

Let us know your thoughts.

Hi Charlie
many thanks for your well constructed and comprehensive response, albeit
not really what I wanted to hear. I understand and appreciate what you are
saying.
JotForm has some amazing capabilities, particularly when HTML and CSS
customisation features are utilised. Personally, to be able to make use of
CSS and HTML in all areas of JotForm would be a significant benefit.
Whilst there are no guarantees, I would like you to seek advice from your
developers as using the existing PDF customisation 'feature' is pretty
'mechanical' and in my experience somewhat lacking in precision and editing
features such as adding tables in accurately placing form fields, spaces
and underlining.
I look forward to hearing from you.
