Export Responses Manually

For simpler needs, you can manually export responses from Google Forms stored in Sheets.

Steps:

   When someone fills out your Google Form, their responses are automatically stored in a connected Google Sheet.

   Open this linked Google Sheet by going to your Google Form, clicking on the "Responses" tab, and then selecting the small green Sheets icon.

   Once you’re in the Google Sheet, you can rearrange the data as you like.

   

   
   

2. Use the "Print" option and save it as a PDF -

   After formatting your data, go to the top menu in Google Sheets and click on File > Print.

   his will open a "Print Settings" window, after customizing your settings, look for the "Destination" section (usually on the right side of the settings window). Change it from a printer to “Save as PDF” and click on Save.
