Hidden Fields won't show up on the PDF

    I customized my PDF print out but when I go to Print it the hidden fields won't show up. I need to add some fields that I don't want to show on the form but can be completed when I print out the PDF. I tried adding text to the custom PDF but it never shows what it's suppose to show so I need to have all the fields built into the form itself. Any ideas?

    What are those fields that are not showing when downloading the submission as PDF? It appears like you have enabled the Auto Hide Empty Fields option:

    Please go to your submissions view, and disable it, so the empty fields will show up: https://www.jotform.com/help/269-How-to-View-Form-Submissions
