How do I Download a PDF version of a Submission?

Created by Nick Duell, Modified on Wed, 25 Sep at 8:11 AM by Nick Duell

Downloading a PDF of your submission allows you to keep a complete copy outside of Droplet. This feature captures all the information in your submission, including text in form fields and any attachments. This lets you save submissions for backup or move them outside of Droplet for other uses.

1

Find the Submission
Go to your All Submissions, My Submissions, or My Assignments page.

2

Select the Submission(s) and Download
Check the box to the left of one or more submissions. Click Actions and then Download.

One Submission or Many Submissions?

One Single Submission
Selecting only one submission (without extra files) downloads as a single PDF.
Multiple Submissions
If you select multiple submissions or choose to include files, your download will be a ZIP folder containing PDFs.

Download Options


A  Format Options

Compact Layout
This reduces space between elements, fitting more on each page.
Reduced Page Margins
Shrinks margins to make better use of the page space.


B  Uploaded Files


If the submission includes file uploads or a stamped PDF, you have a few options:

Include Private Uploads
Adds clickable links for uploaded files directly to the PDF (perfect for viewing on screens).
Compatible Files
in PDF
Merges image files, other PDFs, Word documents, and more into your PDF.
Files in ZIP
Keeps any uploaded files separate from the PDF, as standalone files within the ZIP folder.
Pro Tip!
If you want uploaded files included, be sure to check Include Private Uploads along with Compatible Files in PDF or Files in ZIP.


C  Submission Details


You can also include helpful submission details in the PDF:

General Info
Adds submission status, a link to its current location, and timestamps for when it was submitted and updated.
Data Verification
Key
Inserts a unique key at the bottom of the last page. This key updates every time changes are made to the submission.
Activity Log
Includes who was assigned to each step of the submission, with dates, times, names, and emails.


These options make sure you have all the info you need, right inside your PDF.


Now you’re ready to download your submissions with all the details you need, exactly the way you want them!
