PDF Documents
Pro feature
PDF export is part of Formatrica Pro.
Export any stored submission as a branded PDF — a clean, printable record of the submitted answers.
Download a submission as PDF
- Go to Formatrica → Submissions.
- Open a submission (or use its PDF action).
- Download the generated PDF.
The PDF is generated on demand and is not stored on your server. Downloading one also marks the submission as read.
Branding
PDF branding is set once, site-wide, under Formatrica → Settings → PDF:
| Setting | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Accent colour | #1E6EC8 | Colour for the header, footer, and rules. Also shared with email templates. |
| Show logo | off | Whether to include a logo in the header. |
| Logo | — | An image from your Media Library (PNG/JPG). Must live in the uploads directory. |
| Footer text | "Sent by {site name}" | Footer line (max 200 chars). |
What's in the PDF
- A two-column label/value table of the submitted fields, in the form's field order.
- Decorative elements (buttons, headings, dividers, step breaks, static images, custom text) are omitted.
- Values for fields that were later removed from the form are still shown, marked as a removed field.
- Non-Latin text is supported (the template declares a Unicode font).
PDFs aren't auto-attached to emails
PDF export is an on-demand admin download. Notification and confirmation emails are not sent with a PDF attached; they only share the accent colour with the PDF branding.
Test it
- Set an accent colour and logo under Settings → PDF.
- Open a submission and download its PDF; confirm the branding and field values.
