Hi all,

can someone assist me on adjusting printanswers.php?
Multiple Question Types Array (MQTA) present the answers in printanswer.php as an array. however, i just want to present the header of the array and the actual answers
For example, if the array is:

gender	happy
male	no

Currently it is presented on printanswer.php as follows:

gender
happy
	male
	no

and I would like to present it as follows:

gender	male
happy	yes

Also, "text-display" question are presented in printanswer.php as follows:

texttextexttexttexttexttexttextexttexttexttexttexttextexttexttexttext

empty cell

and I would like to present it as follows:

texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttextexttexttexttexttexttextexttexttexttext

Best regards,
And thank you for any help...

The current structures of both the print and pdf report generation lacks much to be desired.

My suggestions to the LimeSurvey team:

1. Dump HTML tables and encourage CSS based layouts for print.
2. Create a template system for print/pdf that allows the admin to setup the layouts based on group/question/sub-question.
3. This template system should allow for custom common headers and footers for branding and consistency.

AND/OR.....

1. Create a hook or API that the programmers can intercept the printing functionality to customize as needed.
