Can I Download a Learner-Acknowledged Document as a Filled PDF from a Survey Form?

​@electricfan  Hello, I’ve done this type of “Read & Sign” but not downloading the PDF. We just pulled the reports with the survey data, and then if the PDFs were required later, we knew that the LMS was the source of truth. I did a brief look thru the API-browser but couldn’t find anything related.

If you absolutely. need a PDF document, you can use the Assignment learning object type and provide a WORD doc or editable PDF they can sign and save as PDF and then upload back into the LMS. When you evaluate the assignment you will be able to download the document. This may be more time consuming thought as you would need to open each assignment to download it.

If you want to talk a little about approaches, happy to chat about this one - it is an intriguing problem.

You may be able to do some things with a 3rd party software like Adobe Forms or another web based form tool that would support you - (so on submit - you send a PDF copy of the form to someone or some repository) - but let me call this out up front as it echoes what others have said...The trick is because there is no object that you can work with that will make it directly retrievable or directly reportable from an administrative experience inside of Docebo.

Once you dont need to stay in Docebo to administrate something like that - and you are ok with a 3rd party app, and you are ok with fashioning some html - well - you can dream and begin to do alot of things.

And also - if you really want to get into it and there is a budget > consulting groups eat this kind of request up.

​@shanejacques had to tackle aspects of this - and a third party app did its thing. Administratively, I dont think the group was able to scale the outcome well, but Adobe Acrobat Sign was part of the solution.

​@lrnlabs suggestion could be good with monitoring because there is a learning object that you can work with.

DM me at your leisure.

​@electricfan - just one example - there are pay for approaches that could help you if you have an instructional designer that can build a SCORM.file in Storyline. There are groups out there like ClueLabs that may have a sweetspot for you in terms of pricing. Here is the smallest demo of what they can do with a SCORM file.

The problem though is getting the output administratively in one place…making a person do an output and then upload is awkward….

And then maybe a freebie approach for the reasonably savvy instructional designer.

​@dklinger is spot on...we tried to do something similar by having 1,800+ users sign two different PDF documents via Adobe Sign. It was the worst three weeks of my life.

We set the docs up as webforms that we iframed in using an HTML training material type. We had to review each one in Adobe Sign, ensure that the users signed their full legal name, and then manually mark it complete in the LMS.

We’re currently working with our Legal Team to accept a work-around where we replicate the PDF in a Storyline file, and they check the box saying they agree and type their name. Using Javascript, the user gets an error message if they don’t enter a name that matches their LMS profile name (fed from our HRIS system). Fingers crossed it gets approved. ​​​​​​​
