Carrying over CSS rules to the end of survey response summary PDF | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi Community!

The issue: I have a heavily styled survey, and the pdf-report of the end of survey response summary undoes that styling. The online summary the respondent sees right after completion looks great, it is styled just like the survey. But the pdf looks very different.

One of the problems was that the text is being cut off, but that has been resolved with a line of JS to be placed in the first question (from EOS Response Summary PDF Formatting | XM Community (qualtrics.com))

window.experimental.PDFPageBreaks = true;

That works great, but I'm left with two issues:

  • Empty answes are still being displayed in the summary, which in my case is not good
  • Some CSS (in the CSS editor) rules are carried over to the pdf, others not

I'm hoping for another magical line of JS that solves this!

That last point is particularly strange, because something like for example the coloring of answer options is carried over for MC questions, but not for Matrix questions.

Here is an example of how the online response summary looks compared to the pdf.

PDF:

 

I know you posted that question about a year ago and perhaps you found a solution, but my guess is Qualtrics just doesn’t have an advanced convert-to-pdf process that can accurately carry over all your styles.
