PDF Editor: Show only questions and answers with scores of 1 or more, exclude blanks and zeros

PDF to Include Question and Answer of any Question scoring 1 or more points?

I've been struggling all day with something I thought was easy.

I simply want my pdf to show the questions and related answers where the score is 1 or more. exclude questions with blank score "Please Select" or a 0 score.

I've tried /add element/form fields, then pdf/setting/hide empty form fields. but that keeps questions on the form (from the "Enter Text" field), even when Blank or 0 score.

The idea is the user gets a list of questions/answers they need to address...nothing else.

I cant set the 0 scores to blank, because i need to also count all the questions 'answered" and helper fields that count each question 'answered', per earlier this thread. but that wouldn't help anyway because of the answer text noted above appearing for blank scores.

Any work around ideas?

Hi Greg,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, there's currently no way to show or hide the remaining fields based on another field's value in PDF Editor. But as you're trying to send users a list of questions they need to address based on their responses, you can use conditional logic to send personalized emails with different PDF attachments.

First, create specific PDF templates for each scenario. Then, set up multiple Autoresponder Emails, each linked to the right PDF template. Finally, use conditional logic to send the correct email based on the submission. Check out the steps and screencast below to see how it’s done:

Let’s start by creating a PDF document:

1. In PDF Editor, in the blue navigation bar, click on the New PDF button.

2. Click on Use Default Layout and customize your document as you like.

Now, let's create Autoresponder emails and attach PDF documents:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.

2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on the Emails tab.

3. Click on the Add Email button and select Autoresponder.

4. Then, click on the Advanced tab, toggle On the Attach PDF section.

5. Select the PDF document you created, then click on the Save button at the bottom-right side of the Advanced tab.

Finally, let's set the conditionals based on the responder's answers in the form:

1. While in the Settings tab, in the menu on the left side of the page, click on Conditions.

2. Click on Add Condition and then click on Change Email Recipient.

3. Set up the conditions as you see below and click on Save:

Now, whenever a responder selects an option, they will receive an email with the related PDF document attached.
