    Hello Adisak,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. It appears that the form encryption setting of your form is causing the display of the public PDF report to also be encrypted. And since sending a PDF link constitutes a public link, the data inside it gets encrypted. So it is impossible to provide a publicly accessible link of the PDF report simply.

    What you can do is disable the encryption setting of your form. However, the problem here is that those submissions under the encrypted setting will remain encrypted and cannot be recovered or converted to an ordinary submission.

    Feel free to let us know if you have more questions or need more help with this issue.

    Hello Adisak,

    Before disabling the form encryption, I suggest that you decrypt the data in the submission table and download it as an Excel file to back up your data. Let me show you how to download your data as Excel:

    1. In the Jotform Tables, click on the Download All button in the upper-right corner of the page.
    2. Select Download as Excel from the options.

    After downloading your data, let me show you how to disable the form encryption:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. Toggle off the button beside Encrypt Form Data.Submission data is encrypted on the PDF report Image 1 Screenshot 41
    3. Click on Yes, Disable. Submission data is encrypted on the PDF report Image 2 Screenshot 52

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
