PDF Designer: Able to add Page Break to PDF Report

  • DCSNY
    Asked on July 31, 2018 at 11:32 AM

    Hi,

    When using the PDF editor for PDFs attached to an autoresponder email, is it possible to insert page breaks? Considering the PDF feature's other limitations, it is important for us to be able to keep certain response data grouped together on separate pages.

    Thanks,

    Brian

    You cannot insert the page breaks to PDF report, but you can customize the PDF report and expand a filed, so that some other field is moved to the next page. 

    How to Customize PDF Submissions Report

    Hi BJoanna,

    Thanks for your reply. The expanded field is unfortunately not a workaround as the content and number of lines in some of my fields is variable, therefore the pages are not always the same length.

    I had previously submitted a question regarding adding the capacity to JotForm to create individual PDF reports for an AutoResponder email, so that the recipients of separate AutoResponder messages will only receive the information that's relevant to them.

    Because of the inability to customize PDF reports per AutoResponder and the inability to add page breaks to consistently separate information onto individual pages, I'm struggling to find a way to have JotForm suit my needs.

    I'm sure there are many feature requests submitted every day. But if you could please pass my concerns along to the development team it would really help. If multiple PDFs cannot be supported, perhaps a page break function would be easier to implement in the near future. I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Hi Brian,

    To my understanding, you're requesting to have a Page Break feature option in the PDF Designer. 

    I will forward your request to our developers. Please note that we don't provide an estimated time-frame for a resolution. You will be notified via this thread if there is any progress on your request.

    I hope this helps.

    Hey Brian,

    We have added custom page functionalities to our PDF Editor.

    Now you can add multiple pages and group your data easily.

    Best,

    Berkay.
