A PDF submission report is a PDF document containing your form’s submission data that you can download, print, or attach to email alerts. You can customize the PDF document in the PDF Editor.
Follow these steps to create or edit PDF documents:
- In My Forms, hover your mouse over your form and click on the More button on the right.
- Then, select Create PDF Document or Open PDF Editor under the Data column of the More menu. This will open the PDF Editor in a new browser tab.
Note
The number next to the Open PDF Editor option in the form’s More menu shows how many PDF documents have been created for the form.
Another way to access the PDF Editor is from any page where your form is open, such as Form Builder, Inbox, Workflow Builder, Tables, or Report Builder. Click on the Downward Arrow icon next to the Jotform logo in the top-left corner of the page, then select PDF Editor.
In the PDF Editor, customize your PDF document by adding elements from the Add Element menu, styling it in the PDF Designer section, and configuring settings like the PDF File Name in PDF Settings.
The Basic Elements tab of the Add Element menu offers a variety of elements you can add, including text, headings, images, and more. This tab also includes global Form Elements such as Form Title, Submission ID, and Submission Date, along with Workflow Elements like Flow Status and Flow Activity History.
A new PDF document will include all the fields your form currently has and display their values by default. If you’ve added a new field to your form and want it to appear in the PDF document with its value, you can add it from the Form Fields tab.
Notes
- All changes made in the PDF Editor are saved automatically.
- You can press CTRL+Z to undo changes to your PDF document immediately after making them, as long as you haven’t closed the PDF Editor.
To create a new PDF document for your form, click the New PDF button. This lets you choose a default layout, a template, or copy existing PDF documents from your forms.

I am trying to pull data into a PDF from submitted data, but for some reason, the phone numbers will not populate. My form has a Parent/Guardian phone number and an Emergency Contact Phone Number. Is there some additional coding needed for the PDF to know which number goes where?

I have created a PDF report for this sheet:
However the PDF submitted to my Google drive is still in the OLD format (gray and white).
Can you please advise how to change this?
