Survey theme/template:fruity
==================
Hi, we want to configure how our PDF export looks like and we have few questions.

Can we choose not to export question or section that people doesnt answears?

Also can we choose the template of how the PDF looks likes? We need to print it in the end and it has a lot of color that we dont need also we would like to add a custom header of footer and if is posible and change the Text dimensions and font. Is all of this possible? Do we need something external like a plugin?

Also regarding the templates / themes are they any other themes for the survey to change the look of the survey?

Thanks!

Hi,
you may use the plugin "pdfReport"
[url] gitlab.com/SondagesPro/ExportAndStats/pdfReport [/url]

Here you are able to design your report according your needs.

I tried to look on the files over the weekend with one of my friend who has a bit of frontend experience and we dont understand where we can make some modification.

We install the demo lss files and we look at the codes with visual studio code.

For editing the style of the PDF we actually need to modify this lss files?
or do we need to look in pdfreport.css and pdfreport.php?

also there is a line "Here : we construct the report. This question can be hidden, you can use html, expression manager. The report file use the question text." - expression manager i dont understand where to find it to hide all this data...

Are there more instruction somewhere or a point where to start?

Or is there someone who can reach out to help with this task.

Thank you!

In the demo you see this question of type "file-upload" which is used to create the report
 

Here you create the report in HTML to your needs.
You may use ExpressionScript as well

1. report of the demo
 
2. another example showing a table 
source code
 
question
 
report (first table bootstrap based)
 

and in the settings of the questions you see a lot of options.
 

Furthermore read again the documentation  here
