batch export submissions to PDF

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to do batch export of all at once in PDF format.

Hi @four77 ,

You can give a try with Qualtrics API: https://api.qualtrics.com/41296b6f2e828-get-response-export-file

Thank you!

Following from the link above for the get response export file :

conn.request("GET", "/API/v3/surveys/surveyId/export-responses/fileId/file", headers=headers)

I think the get ‘response export file’ is just the images/user submitted files? What is fileId here otherwise?

So not the PDFs that are the question was asking.

I also want to use the API to download all FULL PDFs (rather than click the “EXPORT PDF” button hundreds of times) - but can’t see any legacy or API v3 method of doing this - surely there is a way?

Thanks if anyone knows this is done or in the pipeline,

JBrim

​@four77 ,

yes, this is a common limitation in Qualtrics. We recently built an automation that bulk-downloads all individual responses as PDFs in one go from Data & Analysis using a two-stage automated workflow (no manual one-by-one clicking).

We’ve documented the full approach here with a walkthrough:

Happy to explain or share a demo if useful.
