Hello,

Whenever I try to print a survey response in queXML format, some of the questions don't display.
I can see the answer but the space where the question should be is blank. Please see attachment for reference.

Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

Difficult to say without the survey itself.

Please attach the *.lss export of these questions.

Also difficult to say without knowing the version of LS you are using.

Really sorry,

I tested in both versions 3.17.13 and 3.15.5 with the default settings of the export and got:


It's strange.
But you see that there seems to be a small difference in the structure of both question texts.
To test you may change the text of this question (remove the table structure and enter a plain text)

Do you also see the other questions? because I just tried again by loading the survey.lss file I had attached here and this is what I got when I exported to queXML. See attached jpg. I couldnt attached the pdf because the file size was over the limit

For me, tested under Version 3.17.9+190731, D1 and D2 show, but not D3, D4 and D9.

I tested again and saw all questions except D3, D4, D9 (as holch).

And now the funny thing:
I changed the font-size styling from "px" to "pt" in D3 and D4
And the questions were visible.
Only D9 was missing.

I changed the font from px to pt but now different questions are not showing. It is very odd.
I will try removing extra font settings completely and see if that solves it.

In the mean time I have a different question. In LimeSurvey, there are 2 ways to export a PDF of the results. Either a queXML PDF, which as you can see I am having trouble with, or I can click view response details and click on Export, which gives me the option for multiple formats, one of them is PDF. For the PDF option, if the user skips a question, which they are allowed to, and I export to PDF, then the question they skipped is not included in the exported PDF. Is it possible to include unanswered questions? I can see the unanswered question if I export in the other format, just not when I export to PDF.

Thanks in advance.
