I am looking for a solution that once a form is submitted it is sent to our admissions staff so it can be printed as it requires a wet signature for endorsement into the program.
Can anyone kick me in the right direction?
TIA

Hi @WLS-ITGuy
Hope you're well.
There's a couple of options for this and Power Automate (workflow) is the key to your success.
In Power Automate, I use the Plumsail connector to take the form results and put it into a document template, PDF and/or email out as a doc via a Power Automate workflow.
The other option also uses a workflow and the Microsoft Word connector.
Note that both options require a subscription.
As an alternative, you could also drop the results into a plain text document to be printed.
Here's the Plumsail link to give you something to consider:
Power Automate actions and triggers — Plumsail Documents Documentation
There's lots of videos on YouTube about how to do all this. See how you go and let me know if you have any questions?
Cheers

@Damien Rosario @WLS-ITGuy within the flow you can create an html file from the form response and convert that to a PDF. No premium connectors are required.

Rob raises a good alternative. That is certainly another option for you to exercise.
Give this a go and see if it helps you to get started?

@WLS-ITGuy unless you save the form response to a SharePoint list you'd have to do it at the time it was submitted. Saving via a flow to SharePoint means you can do it at any time.
