Downloading form submissions as Excel, CSV, or PDF files allows you to use your preferred tools to manage the data which can be helpful for analysis or reporting. It also serves as a data backup in case of accidental changes or deletions.
To download form submissions
- In Jotform Tables, select Download All in the upper-right corner.
- Choose your desired file format from the menu to begin the download process.
You can download specific entries by selecting them using the checkboxes on the left.
You can also download entries based on filters. To learn more, see Filtering Entries.
Did you know?
You can change the submission data’s PDF design. See Jotform PDF Editor to learn more.
For both CSV and Excel, the download will start automatically once your file is ready. For PDF, a zip file will be created and sent to your registered email address.
The file creation process may take some time depending on the number of entries on your form.

This does not seem to work. CSV files are not CSV, the downloaded data is in an unusable format and not the columns that are nicely displayed on the UI.

When I download my form as a PDF it leaves off most of the info. Why does this happen? I don't see anything in the options to fix this.

Very Helpful information to know as I may not have to use the cost of Zapier now to Zap my information from my JF survey results directly into my Click Funnels Contacts. THats the easy way but costs $'s. IF I can download a .csv its a simple process to Import that file into my CF workspace CONTACTS section.

I have set up the date field on my form with the format DD-MM-YYYY, but when I download the submissions to csv, and then open it in Excel, the date field is displaying MM/DD/YYYY which means that some entries are being treated as text and others are displaying incorrectly. e.g. a date of birth which is 4th September 1976, was entered in the form in the three field boxes as 04 09 1976, but it is showing as 9/04/1976 and another date 21st November 1977 (entered as 21 11 1977) is showing as 11/21/1977. Changing the date format in Excel (for example to d-mmm-yyyy) does not fix it. The first date converts to 9-Apr-1976 (which is incorrect) and the second date doesn't convert at all. How do I fix this problem?

If I download a file from Jotform - does that make the main file disappear? Or am I just downloading a copy?

I have 11 form submissions and it has been over 9 hours since I tried to download the PDF file and I still have not received it. I have a deadline for printing and submitting the forms to the district I am working with, when can I expect them?

Is there a way to download an individual submission as a csv/excel? Rather than the entire list?
April 24, 2023
It doesn't seem like I can do this as a collaborator (not the owner of the form). Is that right?

I'm just trying download a PDF of one of my tables and it says “Creating a zip file...
We will send you an email when your export is ready for download”
But nothing comes...

I have been trying t download 50 form entries for the last 3 hours without success!!!
We have tried multiple browsers and still no joy!
It seems the perhaps using a desiccated form creation like Constant Contact may be worth considering!

Hi, we are testing the platform, it's seems really nice. I have a question, is it possible to automate downloading the submissions through an API connection?

I have integrated the responses with Google Drive, but all submissions get uploaded as folders instead of simple PDF files. How do I fix this?

Dear Jot Forms support team, is there any way of downloading multiple files without zipping them into an archive?
For example, I want to download 70 different forms, but I don't want them to be merged into 6-7 files. I want to keep the separated.
Is it possible?
Thanks

We are not getting the option to download a specific file type. When we select "Download all" it downloads automatically as a .csv file. Why is this happening?
