/*
Automating gathering of submissions from Gravity Form entries within WordPress
Execute the following in the dev console of your browser when viewing the paginated entries to extract.
Obviously, this can be modified to suit whatever form fields exist,
but the below code will dump csv lines consisting of
submission date, last name, first name, school, filename
(which we're building on the fly from the first and last names),
and it also opens dialog boxes to download the submitted PDFs renamed last-name_first-name.pdf
so that sorting/joining in order is easy.
