==================
Hi All,
When using the Survey/Responses/View Response details as queXMLPDF function the PDF created shows two pages exceeding the page boundaries. In both cases the first question of a question group is a rather long information text [Test display (Type: X)]. The next question is a normal one (List radio) and these two are attempted to be put on the same page, whose length is not enough to hold the content. I did attach one of the sample pages.

Is there a solution for this?

Hi

Is there a solution for this?

A solution for what?

If it doesn't fit on the page, it doesn't.
So you have to lower the font-size of the respective elements, until it fits.
The original:
 
Changed font-sizes (colors only for clarification)
 


Or you use different groups to display on different pages, what is obviously better.
 
I have no clue, why you want to use this export.
I highly doubt that you want to use it as a paper-pencil questionnaire, which you read in with a scanner and an OCR-Tool.
You see, this is the real purpose of the queX suite.

Thanks, Joffm, for your quick reply! The reason of using this export may not seem relevant, but it is to us actually. In testing phase of the survey the owner insists to keep entering data in a database by hand - as it was the way for ages - in order to check whether everything is fine. In their workflow they find this format the most useful.

The original idea was to have the new question in a separate page as it happens to be the case in other pages. I did work with low level PDF creation in the past, I guess it is a matter of inserting a conditional check to the right place.

Anyway, putting the introductory information in a separate group works for me.

Thanks for your advice!
