Google Forms to PDF: one PDF per response

Turn every Google Form submission into a filled-in PDF, saved to Drive and optionally emailed to the respondent.

1. Link the form to a sheet

In Google Forms, open Responses → Link to Sheets. Each submission becomes a row, and each question becomes a column header.

2. Make a template

Create a Google Doc laid out the way the PDF should look. Where an answer belongs, type the question's column header in double angle brackets, for example <<Full name>> or <<Email Address>>. <<TODAY>> inserts the date.

3. Create a TrustyMerge job

Open the response sheet, start TrustyMerge, pick the template and an output folder, choose PDF output and a filename pattern such as Application - <<Full name>>, and set the job to run on new responses. Free plans pick up new responses every 5 minutes, Pro every minute.

4. Email it (optional)

Turn on email to send the PDF to the address in a column, for example <<Email Address>>. Each response is emailed once, and replies come to you.

Each row then shows its status and the links to the Doc and PDF. FAQ · Pricing
