How to Print a Survey

Whether you want a paper copy of your form in order to distribute it by hand or to copy-proof the document in a format that suits you better, we give you the ability to print your form or save it as a PDF straight from the Builder.

  1. Open your form and go to the Build tab
  2. Click the ••• (more options) menu in the top right corner, next to the Publish/status button
  3. Select Print / PDF

Print / PDF option in the form's more options menu

A “Printing” dialog opens with a preview of your form laid out for print. It will briefly show “Please wait. Preparing for print” and then switch to “Ready”.

  1. Once it says “Ready”, click Print
  2. Your browser’s print dialog will open — choose a physical printer to print a paper copy, or choose “Save as PDF” (or “Microsoft Print to PDF” on Windows) as the destination to export a PDF file instead
  3. Click Close to dismiss the Printing dialog when you’re done

Note: Unlike in previous versions, you don’t need to publish or close your form first — Print / PDF is available for forms in Draft, Collecting (published), and Closed states.
