The idea is to give the user the option of either completing my rather long gravity form online or downloading it as a pdf file version of the same form on his desktop and submitting it by email. So, does anybody know how I can take the exported xml gravity form file and transform it into a pdf form without having to reformat etc.?
Even more interestingly does anybody know how I could make that pdf form version submit information directly onto the website....?
Thanks
Check out this service, you may be able to implement their save to PDF button that they have for PDF conversion:

Carl,
Thanks for the link but unfortunately the form it creates is not "fillable" in acrobat nor "editable" in LiveCycle (acrobat form designer).
Acrobat Pro has the same feature i.e. reading html pages and creating forms and those were fillable but not editable but the format was all messed up and I also tried importing the xml export file with Adobe LiveCycle and the application crushed : )
I am currently looking for a copy of Infopath so that I can give that a try as well.
Have you tried importing the export xml file into another "form builder/designer" software?

You can't export the form to XML and import it into another form builder, the other form builder wouldn't know what to do with it. It's only for exporting/importing forms in Gravity Forms. However, you can export the entries to CSV file and import them into any application that supports CSV.
No, this isn't currently possible. Or at least not with a lot of custom work to make it happen. The PDF form can't submit to Gravity Forms.
