Hi guys. My goal is to save the form submission as a PDF to my google drive.
But the trick is that i don't want to save all of the fields, I want the PDF to be customized depending on customer's answers. Exactly how notification emails can be customized.
For example:
Form Title
Dropdown field 1
text field 1
text field 2
text field 3
If dropdown field answer is 1. The saved PDF will have:
Form Title
text field 1
text field 2
If dropdown field answer is 2. The saved PDF will have:
Form Title
text field 2
text field 3
And so on. Is that possible?

Hidden fields (with empty answers) are not included in PDF submissions so that might be possible.
So basically, you will have to create a condition in your form that show/hide form fields base on user's answer. Guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/316-How-to-Show-or-Hide-Fields-Base-on-User-s-Answer
And then integrate your form with Google Drive so the submissions PDF will be automatically sent to your Google Drive account.
Hope this helps!

That could be a good solution but... I do have many hidden fields that are needed in my pdf. some calculation fields and other fields that get data depending on answers. if i hide hidden fields wouldn't that affect my needed hidden fields ?

There might be a misunderstanding.
The thing you would like to do could be achieved using show/hide condition. Once you set your condition based on your workflow which was mentioned above and when your end-user selects option "2" for dropdown field, text field 1 will be hided automatically and not appear on pdf.
I created a demo form for your information. Feel free to clone it. https://form.jotform.com/62762253489970
This is the screen shot of my test submission on demo form. As you can see here, textbox 1 field is not show up on PDF.
