Possible to extract all responses into PDF?

Does Qualtrics have a way to export all submitted responses into PDFs? It doesn't look like there's a way within the Qualtrics itself, and I'm not sure if the Qualtrics API can support this? Edit: To clarify, Qualtrics allow for exporting individual responses to PDF - I'm looking to bulk export ALL individual responses to PDF.

Hey @StevenPham! If you have not yet already, I'd recommend posing this in our Product Ideas category, as it is a feature not already developed by our team. Be sure to review the How to Write a Good Product Idea template and our Ideation Guidelines before you post your idea!

As I have seen only export options are excel, CSV, tsv, SPSS..PDF is not an option.

I'm looking into extending the PDF function in Qualtrics. The system lets you individually export PDF responses, but not by bulk unfortunately.

Yes right, but for reporting you can download PDF that make sense also.

Hi @steven Why do you need PDF file for responses, how analysis get done in PDF , you can't be able to filter out or run pivots.

Because it is not for analysis at all. If I wanted analysis, I would export it into a CSV/TSV format.

​@sPham , 

To help the XM Community, I have created a free browser script workaround to automate the PDF export process directly from the Data & Analysis page. Here’s how it works:

  • Stage 1: Runs a script that automatically clicks Export to PDF for each response and queues all exports
  • Stage 2: After a short wait, runs a script to open Manage Downloads and download all PDFs in one go
  • Stage 3 (optional): Cleans up completed jobs from the queue

You can find the full guide along with all three scripts here:

Hope this helps!
