# PDF Template

To generate PDF view out of submitted forms a PDF Template needs to be defined and linked to the Form Template.

A PDF Template is essentially just a HTML file with special tagging for form values. When a form is submitted, XForms platform pulls the data from the form in to the PDF Template and creates a PDF file which can be accessed from [XForms Dashboard](https://dashboard.xformsweb.com/login).

### Form Value Tags

Inside the PDF Template's HTML file, the form value placeholders are marked by `{{form field ID}}` notation (ex. {{field\_notes}}).

If the form field contains HTML tags the placeholder should use `{{{form field ID}}}` tag instead.
