# Can You Download a Google Form as a PDF? Step-by-Step Guide


Need a printable or shareable version of your form? **Yes, you can download a Google Form as a PDF** — and it only takes a few clicks.

Whether you want a clean copy of your form questions, a summary of responses, or a specific submission to archive, Google Forms makes it easy to save everything in a PDF format.

This guide will walk you through every method, from saving a blank form to downloading responses. Let’s get started.

## How to Save a Blank Google Form as a PDF
Want to share the form design or questions without collecting responses? Saving the blank form as a PDF is your best option.

Here’s how to print or save a Google Form’s layout — with no answers included:

1. Open your Google Form.
2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.
3. Select **Print**.
4. In the print dialog, change the destination to **“Save as PDF”**.
5. Click **Save** and choose a location on your computer.

> This method captures the full structure of your form — ideal for sharing with team members or printing for in-person use.


## How to Download All Google Form Responses as a PDF

Need a quick way to capture all the answers from your form? You can download every response in one neat PDF.

Here’s how:

1. Open your Google Form and click the **Responses** tab.
2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the right side.
3. Select **“Print all responses”**.
4. In the print window, choose **“Save as PDF”**.
5. Save the file to your device.

> The resulting PDF includes all submissions, grouped by respondent. If you collected emails, names, or [phone numbers](https://blog.supatool.io/article/google-forms/google-forms-phone-number-validation), those details will also appear.


## How to Save Individual Form Submissions as PDFs

Want to keep or share just one person’s answers? Here’s how to download individual Google Form submissions as PDFs:

1. Go to the **Responses** tab.
2. Click the **“Individual”** view at the top.
3. Scroll through the responses to find the one you want.
4. Click the printer icon (🖨️) in the top right.
5. In the dialog, choose **“Save as PDF”**.

> This is especially useful when someone requests a copy of their submission or if you need to store responses separately.


## Can You Download the Google Form Itself (Not Just Responses)?

If you're trying to get a copy of the form — not the answers — you have two main options:

- **Blank PDF of the Form**:  
  Use the “Print” method on a blank form to create a clean PDF that includes only the questions and layout.

- **Editable Version (Not Natively Supported)**:  
  Google Forms doesn’t let you download the form as a Word or Docs file, but you can copy and paste the content manually if needed.

> Use the PDF version to share the design or archive it, and use copy-paste for editable formats if required.
