Hi there
I have same problem when cloning forms USING JOTFORM FORM BUILDER.
{"error":"Form not found: Form Id is missing or irregular.","success":false,"duration":"0.003"}The link I am using in the form is https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid={id}&formID=%2051453061407346
to reach the PDF result of the form -

If you are trying to clone the URL http://www.jotform.com/myforms/, please note that this is not a valid form URL. It is a listing page that lists your saved forms, and not a form.
In order to clone a form, you need to use a direct link to a valid JotForm form, such as this as an example: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/51451491989972
Please read the following guide about How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL
Please let us know if you need further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

well guys,
I have read your guide and I have made the changes in the THANK YOU MESSAGE changing the link to the PDF result, changed to https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid={id}&formID=%2051453061407346
Tell me what is wrong with above link
Thanks
BTW i am creating the forms from the menu option MY FORMS, found here on jotform.com :)
Form i am working in:
http://www.jotform.com//?formID=51453061407346Link:
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid={id}&formID=%2051453061407346
The result is
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid=308453606011104845&formID=%2051453061407346
Whats wrong? -

OK, I can see what is wrong with the link you have provided. There is an accidental space added to the link that is breaking it. The space is encoded as %20 in the link.
Please remove it from the link, by replacing this:
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid=%7Bid%7D&formID=%2051453061407346
With this:
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid=%7Bid%7D&formID=51453061407346
I'm afraid that our initial confusion came as you have posted in an old thread about cloning a form, and you have also mentioned cloning a form. :)
Please let us know if removing that stray space (%20) resolves the issue for you.

Hi there
Nope - it didnt help. - new type of error (ID not found)
I am using this link (as you posted) https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid=%7Bid%7D&formID=51453061407346 -
BorisReplied on May 26, 2015 at 9:26 AM
Please accept my apologies. While removing that space (%20) from the link that you have provided, my browser decided to encode the link even further...
What you should do is only to remove the %20 from the link that you were originally using. If I'm not mistaken, this link should work:
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid={id}&formID=51453061407346
After placing it in your thank you link, the {id} should be replaced with the submission ID. From the example links you have provided above, the {id} would automatically change to 308453606011104845.
Please test it out and let us know if it resolved the issue.

No worries mate
It solved the case.
Just to clarify, what should the link look like ( I have 6 more forms to create, each because of google tracking)
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid={id}&formID=51453061407346
- where 51453061407346 is the formid ? -

If you are looking for a way to avoid any numbers, and to just copy/paste this link from one form to another, then please use the link as follows:
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid={id}&formID={formId}
The {id} will be automatically substituted with the submission ID of that submission.
The {formId} will be automatically substituted with the form ID where the submission is made.
I have made a demo form of this feature, which you can see here:
http://form.jotformpro.com/form/51454116028953 (you can also clone it to take a closer look)
Kind regards,
Boris -

Hi Boris
Perfect solution
This works across the clones:
https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php?action=getSubmissionPDF&sid={id}&formID={formId} -
CharlieReplied on May 26, 2015 at 12:41 PM
I believe that should work with the other forms, even if cloned or not. Please do check.
If you needed more information on this please do let us know.
Thank you.
