    Hi Ponefa,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Yes, Jotform PDF Editor can create PDF documents that automatically generate from form submissions, and you can add form field values into a text field using the Form Fields option in the PDF Editor.

    Here’s how to do it:

    1. Open your form in Workspace.
    2. Click More on the form, then select Create PDF Document.
    3. Add a Text element in PDF Editor, then use Form Fields to insert the field values you want to appear in the PDF.
    4. Save the PDF and use Preview PDF to check how the populated values look.

    The information available here confirms that form field values can be placed into a PDF template, but it does not include any details about automatic translation of long text field results.

    I don't know this information and our support team will handle your request.

    Reach out again if you need any other help.

    This is not an answer to my question. I understand that i can add form fields to my pdf. But I would like to translate answers from long text fields, and add those translations to the pdf file.

    Hi Ponefa,

    The knowledge base only confirms that Form Fields in PDF Editor can insert the submitted field values into a PDF, and it does not include any information about automatically translating long text field answers before adding them to the PDF.

    I don't know this information and our support team will handle your request.

    Reach out again if you need any other help.

    Hi Ponefa,

    If I understand, you want to translate the answer of the user in your Long Text field to another language automatically. Is that right? If yes, unfortunately, we don't have an option to automatically translate the answer of the user.

    While the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.
