Export Questionnaire
With QUESTIONSTAR, you can easily export your questionnaire to a Word or PDF document. This is especially handy when you need a paper version — for example for paper-and-pencil studies, postal surveys, archiving, or for team review and documentation.
Here's how to export your questionnaire:
- In the top right of the survey view, click the three-dot menu.
Select the menu item "Export Questionnaire".
In the dialog window, choose the file format you want:
- Word document (.docx) — ideal if you still want to edit the file or prepare it for printing, e.g. for classic paper-and-pencil surveys or as an appendix to a results report.
- PDF document (.pdf) — ideal if you want to print the questionnaire directly or share the working version by email with colleagues.
Optional: Enable the option "Include Question Numbers" if you want the numbers to be visible in the export.
Question numbers are particularly useful for internal use:
- For referencing individual questions — e.g. in meetings or in team comments.
- For evaluation and analysis — when you want to refer to specific questions.
- For documentation — such as in final reports or when checking the questionnaire's structure.
For field use, on the other hand, we recommend disabling the numbering — it can confuse, distract, or even deter respondents, since it might give the impression that the questionnaire is very long.
Click "Export" to start the download.
Even if your questionnaire is usually used digitally, the export is a valuable way to ensure quality, align on the content, and document your work — whether for review processes, print versions, or archiving as part of your studies.
