Download responses as PDF or CSV
You can save any response as a PDF to print or file, and download a form's responses as a spreadsheet. Both come from the form's Responses page.
Download one response as a PDF
- Open the form's Responses page.
- Press PDF next to the response. Or open the response and press Download PDF.
- The PDF opens in a new tab. Save or print it from there.
The PDF is laid out like your form, on A4 paper. It shows your logo or letterhead, the section headings and every question with its answer. Uploaded photos appear where they were uploaded, and other uploaded files are listed. Each page shows the form name, the response number, the date and the page number at the bottom.
To print the date and time of submission in a top corner, open Form settings, go to Response PDF and choose a Timestamp position.
Download responses as a spreadsheet (CSV)
- Open the form's Responses page.
- If you only want some responses, search or filter first. See Read, search and filter responses.
- Press Export CSV.
The file opens in Excel or any spreadsheet program. It has one row per response, oldest first, with the response number, date and time, IP address, then one column per question. Signatures show as "Signed" and uploads show their file names.
Download a person's or a company's files
- Staff folders: press Download folder (.zip) to get all of one person's responses, each with its PDF and uploaded files. See Staff folders.
- A whole company: on the Edit company page, in the Delete company section, Download everything (.zip) gives you a copy without deleting anything. It holds every form of that company, each with a responses spreadsheet and a folder per response holding its PDF and uploaded files.
Good to know
- Export CSV includes every response that matches your search and filters, not only the page you're looking at.
- Every response is also emailed with its PDF attached. See Where responses go.
- These files contain personal information. Keep them somewhere safe. See Your data, privacy and security.
