What is the Print to PDF Add-on?
The Print to PDF add-on transforms form submissions into professional, printable PDF documents with full customization control. This feature enables you to generate formatted PDF files from any form submission, attach them to email notifications, and provide customers with official records of their inquiries, applications, or requests.
Unlike basic form data exports, this add-on creates properly formatted, branded documents suitable for official business records, customer communications, and regulatory compliance needs.

Key Business Scenarios for PDF Export
RMA and Return Authorizations
Generate professional RMA documents with complete submission details, product information, and return instructions. Customers receive a formatted PDF they can print and include with their return shipment, while your team maintains consistent documentation standards.

Convert quote requests into professional PDF proposals that can be reviewed offline, shared with stakeholders, and archived for future reference. Custom templates ensure your brand identity is maintained across all customer-facing documents.
Warranty Registration and Claims
Create official warranty certificates and claim documentation that customers can save for their records. PDF generation provides a professional experience that builds trust and simplifies warranty management processes.

Transform application submissions into formatted documents suitable for review, approval workflows, and permanent record-keeping. PDF exports ensure consistent formatting regardless of how the form data is collected or displayed.
