queXMLpdf report was created by ordogz
Hi All,

I've enabled the "Print answers" link option in my survey end page, and once I chose the queXMLpdf report button, it generates a pdf which is almost acceptable.

I say almost, because I have "Single choice list with comment" type questions and the five choices are (a few of them) long text paragraphs, and in the generated PDF some of the answers and text blocks have very small font size, and the others are okay.

Also, the pdf generation shows two questions on each page( maybe from here comes the minimized font for some of the questions), and I'd prefer each question separately on one page.

It is any way to edit the "queXMLpdf report " page options?

Thank you.


ps. I attached a screenshot with my problem.

queXML is a format to produce printable surveys that can be automatically scanned in and don't require manual data entry. Which is why the distance between the items probably always needs to be the same, to allow the automatic scanning process.

QueXML is also no Limesurvey format, it is just used by Limesurvey. More about QueXML you can find here: quexml.acspri.org.au/

In my opinion, there are HTML inside this answer, or forcing using a specific font.

Maybe you can look at this and show what exactly you have in editor ?

This is normal behaviour.

As holch explained, the intention of this kind of export is to get an empty paper-pencil questionnaire which is prepared to be scanned after the respondents entered their answers.

This is the explanation of LimeSurvey when you export a questionnaire to this format.


In my opinion there is no really satisfying built-in report to be shown to the respondents.
But have a look at the plugin "pdfReport".
Here you are free to design your own layout.
