Whip Around

It is possible to export PDFs from all form submissions stored in the web portal. This workaround is useful if data destinations were not set up until after teams had submitted a number of forms. 

Note:  This will only download PDFs of form submissions that are still visible in the web portal.

Install <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google Chrome</a>. Then, install and enable the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-scraper/jnhgnonknehpejjnehehllkliplmbmhn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Web Scraper </a>and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/openlist/nkpjembldfckmdchbdiclhfedcngbgnl?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OpenList</a> external plugins.

Once they're all installed, access Developer Tools in the Chrome menu.

Select the Web Scraper tab.

Under Create new sitemap select Import sitemap.

Copy the following sitemap into the textbox Sitemap JSON.

        "parentSelectors": ["_root", "pagin"],

        "selector": "td:nth-of-type(1) a",

        "selector": "ul.iconActions li[style*=\"pdf\"] a",

"startUrl": "<a href="https://api.whip-around.com/dashboard/v2/reports%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://api.whip-around.com/dashboard/v2/reports”</a>,

Optionally Rename Sitemap export_pdf, and click Import Sitemap.

In Chrome, log into the Whip Around web portal. Under the Data &amp; Analytics tab select Data.

In the Web Scraper plugin, select Sitemap (export_pdf) and click Scrape.

Ensure popups are enabled, and then click Start Scraping. Note: Do not close the popup window that appears as this will cancel the scrape.

Once the scrape is complete, export this list by selecting the Sitemap (export_pdf) tab, clicking Export Data as CSV, and then selecting Download now!.

Open the CSV document from your computer's Downloadsfolder.

Copy the URLs from the "pdf-href" column.

In Google Chrome, click the OpenList plugin icon and paste the list into the text area. (If you have a large list of URLs it is recommended that you add them in batches of ~200 or less.) Click Open. Note: New tabs will be opened as the files download. Do not close them. They will close automatically once the files are successfully downloaded.

All PDFs will appear in your computer's Downloads folder.
