By default, when you create a new PDF document, the PDF Editor will populate it with the same question-and-answer (Q&A) pairs found on your web form.

If you want a plain PDF file containing your user’s submission data, the default PDF template should suffice. However, if you plan to fully customize the design and layout of your PDF document, knowing your way around the PDF Editor, especially how to add form fields with submission data, will be a good knowledge to acquire.
