How far can Power Automate go?
JohnHollis just be aware that in Forms you have a hard limit of 100 questions, but in reality it can be quite a bit lower if you include a lot of likert type questions as each statement is considered 1 question. I had to be quite careful about this in a form for a public consultation recently.

JohnHollis if you are doing this in the Office 365 Power Platform apps rather than the core apps you are going to have to learn Power Apps or Power Automate, there is no way round that. Forms is a good jumping-off point but do bear in mind my previous comment re the question limit. Then it will need a flow in Power Automate to save each form response into a SharePoint list and to create the PDFs. It's all do-able but needs learning and work.

- Same to you Rob, where's the best place to start learning? Is it YouTube channels? Websites? Books?
RobElliott - thanks - that makes sense - like I said - don't really use forms
JohnHollis - if you run into a wall with the forms limitations that RobElliott mentioned, Power Automate does have a connector for paid Surveymonkey accounts.
I really would try to use the Dataverse as opposed to SharePoint.
- Any ideas where is the best place to learn? Is it YouTube channels? Websites? Books?
- Microsoft provide really excellent learning resources, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/browse/?products=power-platform
