# SharinPix Generate Form Response PDF

## Overview

The **Generate Form Response PDF** component is a button that allows users to instantly generate a PDF version of the latest SharinPix form they have submitted. Users can configure it, choosing to either open the generated Form Response PDF in a new tab for immediate viewing or import it directly into a [SharinPix Album](https://docs.sharinpix.com/documentation/lightning-web-component/sharinpix-album-lwc).

## Demo: Fire Safety Inspection Example

This example demonstrates importing the **fire safety inspection PDF** into the related site’s SharinPix album when a form is submitted.

The image below shows the **SharinPix Generate Form Response PDF** component configured in the Salesforce App Builder, with properties filled:

* **SharinPix Form Template Name** set to *Fire Safety Inspection*
* **Select Action** set to *Import to SharinPix album*

![](https://2221230591-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5EvYRrLbUyvRh8o1jmMG%2Fuploads%2F8OhjwxXFS3g81QuCVwqA%2FVVVVV.png?alt=media\&token=752d786f-dc8f-4d81-b8d3-c8930975acfd)

Assuming at least one form response exists for the *Fire Safety Inspection* form template, clicking the **SharinPix Generate Form Response PDF** button will generate a PDF of the latest form response and automatically import it into the SharinPix album linked to the same record. You may need to **refresh the page** to see the PDF appear in the album.

The image below displays the generated PDF stored within the SharinPix album:

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Alert**

The import to the SharinPix album will **only** occur once the **PDF URL** for the form response is **available**. For example, if the SharinPix Form response includes images that are still uploading, the PDF may not be immediately generated.
