Can Webflow provide a feature to automatically download or open a PDF file for visitors after submitting a form?

Webflow can indeed provide a feature to automatically download or open a PDF file for visitors after submitting a form. Here's how you can achieve this functionality:

1. Create your form: Start by creating a form in Webflow using the Form element or integrating with a third-party form service like Zapier or Airtable.

2. Add a hidden field: In order to trigger the download or open action, you'll need to add a hidden field to your form. This field will hold the URL of the PDF file you want to provide. You can add this field by using the HTML Embed element and inserting an input field with the type set to "hidden".

3. Set up form submission interactions: After a visitor submits the form, you can use Webflow's interactions feature to trigger an action based on the value of the hidden field. Here's how to do it:

   • Select the form in the designer.
   • Navigate to the Interactions panel.
   • Add a new animation trigger.
   • Choose the "Form Success" event.
   • Set a condition for the hidden field value (e.g., if hidden field = "pdf").
   • Add the action for this event, which could be "Open URL" or "Download URL".
   • Specify the URL of the PDF file in the action settings.

4. Upload the PDF file: You need to upload the PDF file to Webflow before you can provide its URL. You can do this by going to the Designer, selecting the Assets panel, and uploading the PDF file.

5. Customize the form success message: When a visitor submits the form successfully, you can show them a custom success message or redirect them to a different page. This can be done in the form settings within the designer, allowing you to provide a clear indication that the PDF file is being downloaded or opened.

By following these steps, you can automate the process of providing PDF files to visitors after they submit a form on your Webflow website.
