Hello Team,

I have successfully installed pdfReport Plugin and created a file upload question and made the changes in its settings. I am attaching my LSG structure along here, I want to render its questions in the pdf. Where should I make changes and what kind of script I should use to render the questions in the pdf. Can anyone help me showing a script on how to render the questions and its answers in the pdf, also currently I can only download the pdf after I test the survey and click on "print your answers", is there a way i can download the pdf from the "responses" in the settings. So that I can download a admin pdf for every participant?


Thanks.

Please, neither lsq nor lsg exports.
Only lss.

As far as I remember there is a demo file in the plugin, folder "demo"

Did you import the demo?

And you create your report using HTML, css and ExpressionScript, no php.

We are not using limempdf as we dont want to send survey via emails to participants, we want to use pdfReport on the admin side to have customized pdfs as per our Requirements. We want to develop a custom pdf so we as an admin can get a desired view of the participants responses. Yes we have the demo file when we installed the pdfReport zip file and uploaded it as a plugin. Please correct me if Im wrong.

Did you look at the README ? And the demo files ?
gitlab.com/SondagesPro/ExportAndStats/pdfReport#sample-survey
gitlab.com/SondagesPro/ExportAndStats/pd...t/-/tree/master/demo

Else
Custom template are included in limempdf

All this file : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/lime.../mpdf?ref_type=heads

Can be replaced by your Survey theme
(but only via FTP currently (LS core issue))

For example : you can totally remove content usage gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/lime....twig?ref_type=heads

in you own theme and construct whole body at this place.

Your LimeSurvey version: 6.2.10

When I try to install Limempdf in the plugins Manager, I cannot as I have version 6.2.10, it goes for an Error such that the plugin does not support your limesurvey version.

Where should I import the Demo

As you import all lss files.

In the demo there are 2 *.lss exports
 
The second uses "limeMpdf" additionally.


And have a look at the "config.xml".
Is Version 6 in the compatibility section?
If not, add it.

Hello Team,

Can I use Limempdf and have an export option for the responses in the responses tab for PDFs through Limempdf Instead of having the general Limesurvey Pdf option. Also I have to write long codes for pdf generation, can I use a for loop using javascript or PHP for looping through questions.
