Customized PDF: Add "Auto Hide Emtpy field" option

    Hi,

      I'm very happy to see the Customized PDF function now on JotForm. You guys are really fast in developing needed tools.  One small issue though... originally if someone had not filled out a specific field, then on the downloaded PDF, the field wouldn't show up which saved space. On the Customizable form, I'm able to remove items I don't need (which saves space) but then if specific fields aren't filled in, it still shows up on the PDF, which in many cases makes my PDF quite large with empty spaces. Is there a way to add this feature to the new customizable function?

     

    Thanks again!

    Hi,

    The new feature "Customized PDF", I believe, is still currently being developed, although that option can now be accessed freely under the "Get PDF" option.

    The purpose of it is to have a fixed template for the PDF report. So if you used that option, the "Auto Hide empty" field won't work. Is that what you are referring to?

    I'll forward this to our developers to have it checked and see if they can add a similar function.

    Thank you for your feedback on this, it is very much appreciated.

    Hi,

    Yes, that is what I'm requesting... that the "customized PDF" also include an auto-hide feature.

    Thank you!

    You guys are awesome!!!  I'm very impressed and so thankful as this really helps me.  

    Ok, one small thing... now it adds several extra blank pages at the end of the PDF... but I'm sure you guys will work that out too...  :)

     

    THANK YOU!
