# SharinPix Generate PDF on Form Response

## Overview

The **SharinPix Generate PDF on Form Response** component is a customizable button designed specifically for use on the **Form Response** record page. It enables users to instantly generate a PDF version of the current form response with a single click.

Users can configure the button to, either open the generated form response PDF in a new tab for immediate viewing or import it into a [SharinPix Album](https://docs.sharinpix.com/documentation/lightning-web-component/sharinpix-album-lwc)—either on the current Form Response record or its parent record.

| Button Label              | The text displayed on the button that users will click to generate the SharinPix form response PDF.                                                                                                                                      | Default value: Download PDF          |

You can either open it in a new browser tab, or import it directly into a SharinPix album linked to the same record.                                                    | Default value: Open Pdf in a New Tab |

### Demo: Fire Safety Inspection Example

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

* **Select Action** set to *Import to SharinPix album*
* *Enable* **Save PDF to Parent Record** checkbox

![](https://2221230591-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5EvYRrLbUyvRh8o1jmMG%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d808606daecfc46fff42336268d02787a28ab50b%2FDOC%20SF%20-%201920%20x%20360%20\(1920%20x%20600%20px\)%20\(2\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\).png?alt=media)

Assuming at least one form response exists for the *Fire Safety Inspection* form template, clicking the button will generate a PDF of the current form response and automatically import it into the SharinPix album associated with its *parent record*.

To confirm that the feature works as expected, navigate to the parent record as illustrated in **Step 2** in the image below. **Step 3** shows the generated PDF stored within the **SharinPix album** linked to that parent record.

{% 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.
