How to turn a form into a PDF?
Comments

Hi, the title kind of says it all. I am looking to covert the my form into a PDF, but I am not sure how to go about this. Is there an action or button that I place within the form to do this or am I supposed to do something else? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Edit: Forgot to mention this is for data repeater entries if that matters

Hey there, what youre looking for is the [b]HTML to PDF [/b]step in the Flow Designer to covert each row of your Data Repeaters information.
In the parent Flow of the Form, add the HTML to PDF step after the Form. For this steps input, select the Data Repeater as the HTMLs input. You can also set the name of the PDF file under the PDF File Name input. Please let me know if you need further help!

Is there a converter flow or some sort of formatting that is also needed to get this working?

Hello,
There isnt any converter flow that converts Decisions form to PDF.
But you can convert it into HTML format and use the Html to PDF step.
for reference please refer provided document link

Amber said that the HTML to PDF input would be the Data Repeater in the parent flow after the main form. When I do that, I get a PDF with a string value of my type such as "MyTestStructure[]" with nothing else.
Can you help me figure out what I am missing from Ambers suggestion that the repeater just goes straight into the HTML to PDF step? Or are you saying that this cannot be done?

Hello,
Please use the custom merge step before the html to pdf step..
