You use Google Forms but what if you need to know how to print a Google Form. Alice Keeler helps you with multiple options for printing the Form and to print the responses. Printing a Google Form is easy!
Google Forms are a digital solution for collecting data, however, sometimes you need either the form or the results on paper. You can use the built in features of Google Forms or use one of my Add-ons to have more control over the printing options. I will show you both ways for how to print a Google Form. Additionally, how to print out the results and comments you may have left in the quiz.
Sometimes someone can not fill out the Google Form online and you need a paper version.
If you want to print from Google Forms you will use the 3 dots menu from the Form edit screen. Choose Print.
Using the built in features of Google Forms you can print the Form as a PDF. It provides you lines to fill in the responses. However, you have no control over how much space is provided. Notice on my attempt to print my math final that it gives half the page for the questions “What is your first name?” and “What is your last name?” This ends up being 16 pages
This question asks students to rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 5. It is presented vertically so that it is the only question that fits on the page.
Form Printer by Alice Keeler collects NO user data. Install Form Printer from Google Workspace Marketplace. Use the puzzle piece icon to select “Form Printer by Alice Keeler.” Select “Print Form.”
If you would prefer a Google Doc instead of a PDF then Form Printer would be the way to go. Since it is a Google Doc you have the ability to customize the print layout before printing to paper. Notice that Form Printer fit the same test on 6 pages instead of 16.
Customize the Google Doc however you want. Adjust the margins. Change the font. One trick I use when customizing my Google Form is columns. This helps to save room by arranging lists horizontally.
selecting 2 column layout." width="588" height="347" />
For short questions I can have 2 or 3 questions across instead of down.
This same functionality is built into Quiz Helper.
In the edit screen of the Google Form use the puzzle piece select “Quiz Helper by Alice Keeler.” This will allow you to choose “Print Form” from the pop up menu.
Notice that unlike printing directly from Google Form a “rate yourself” question puts the options horizontally, saving a lot of room for printing.
If the Form was filled out digitally you may want to print out the individual responses.
Click on the “Responses” Tab in Google Forms and click on “Individual.” There you can choose the individual response that you want to print. Use the arrows to navigate to the desired response or edit the response number to jump ahead.
Click on the print icon to print that particular response.
For single responses you will need the response number that you wish to print. When prompted, enter the number.
Form Printer also allows you to print all of the Form responses. The responses export to a Google Doc to allow you to format the responses before printing to a printer.
Google Forms has made many improvements over the years to printing a Form and Form responses. However, you will need to use Form Printer by Alice Keeler to edit the layout before printing.
