2. Paste it into any post or page:

Using Gutenberg Block:

2. Search for “Everest Forms”
3. Select your quiz form from the dropdown

Step 5: Test for User Experience and PDF Generation #

Now, the workflow for the entire process will occur as follows:

1. Form Submission: User answers quiz questions and clicks Submit.
2. Results Processing: WordPress processes the quiz responses.
3. PDF Download Option: A download link appears based on your configuration.
4. Score Display: Scores are visible in the PDF if “Show Quiz Scores” is enabled.
5. File Generation: A PDF is generated with quiz results and scores.

To test the download function for quiz submission, visit your page or post in an incognito/private window. Now, fill in the form and click on the Submit button.

A message with a download link for the PDF file for your submission should appear on your screen. Click on the link, and choose the location for the file to download on your device. You can now view the response in the file.
