First, create PDF templates using online tools like http://www.pdfescape.com or http://www.pdfamigo.com/.  Take any PDF form you already have and import it into Snappii Editor when creating a Universal form.\n\nSimply create your PDF file and name the form fields according to your fields in the Datasource. Save the PDF. Create an Excel spreadsheet with the corresponding form fields’ names. Save this spreadsheet and upload to the Datasource dialog. Save it.\n\nDrag and drop the Universal Form element, after you set it up, i.e. select the saved datasource, choose the layout, open the settings for the Universal Form – click Submit by Email, select the PDF format and put a check next to Use PDF template. See the screenshot below:\n\n\n\nClick Upload, select your saved PDF template, you will see the fields mapping will open, map the fields of your PDF template with the fields from the datasource. Save and close. Now just add form elements like you would normally do for your form.\n\nIf you are using tables in your form, these PDF fields should start with “table_”\n\nInstead of inserting the whole picture in your PDF report, you can substitute it for a link to this image. Simply put a check “Show URL instead of image”.
