Hello!

This is my honest question which is revolving for weeks in my head. 

 

I really want to trade a portion of our reviews as PDF's for documentation purposes and I have seen some talk on here from a year prior about having this usefulness, has this been settled at this point?

 

How to do this?

Hi @AniaAnia and @Jasoon I’ve added your posts here where we have more information on this. 😁

Hi,

I also need to export some of our surveys as PDF’s and I have seen some chat on here from a year ago about having this functionality, has this been resolved yet?

Thanks

Hi @Marcela Gaviria This isn’t a feature we offer, but definitely suggest using the workarounds mentioned in this post!

It's a real pain not being able to share survey contents (inc logic) with a wider audience. Especially with plans being limited to 3 to 5 users.

I've spend a some hours to make something that takes in survey definition json files that can be downloaded through their API or their Request data function and generates a somewhat human readable overview. This overview could then also be saves as pdf.

i would also like a export function. I use Typeform for research and it is necessary to share with people an overview of the whole survey so they can see the order of questions/answers etc. I do not code so the JSON export is useless for me. This is one of the things that makes me want to go back to qualtrics.

@lancswork you might be able to use https://typeform-overview.metabolic.software/ for now? You can easily export it as pdf.

Yes, thanks this is a very good work around. But I find it quite surprising this is not included as a feature.

THIS IS AMAZING AND JUST MADE MY DAY! Typeform should pay you for this. OMG.

Glad that helped, @jsteed !! 😀

I am seeking a method to achieve what seems to be the same objective as many here, to output the submitted data to a PDF form.  There is supposedly the ability to integrate TypeForm with PDF applications through intermediation platforms such as Zapier or IFTTT.  I would really like to collaborate with others who are on this journey, as it is not a trivial pursuit. 

In addition, I would like to be able to populate portions of the TypeForm with data from PDF form fields, and allow a dynamic aggregation of the information, where the best input medium is utilized for different contexts.

Hi @illuminoughtu Thanks for stopping by! Let us know if you have any questions on the way or if you do end up collaborating with anyone from the community. 

I don’t have a coding background. I have downloaded the .json file, followed the link above, then attempted to upload the .json

Nothing happens. Am I missing a step?

Would like to add my disappointment that this is not a feature. It is possibly the reason our organisation will move away from TypeForm. If I can’t figure out the export workaround, there is almost no chance I could expect my staff to. Typeform, you are losing customers to competiors over this. Please do something about it.

Hi @enthusiastichel Do you mind sharing how you’re uploading the JSON? And if you also don’t mind your sharing your use case for exporting/importing the forms, that would be helpful for our product team to know!
