Hide in PDF Advanced Field Property
Previously there was no way to differentiate between fields that should appear in a pdf and fields that should not. A new Advanced Field property has been developed that hides fields from appearing in the PDF (in the form at the top right), "Save and Print" (at the bottom of the form) and PDF (Form) (on the Athlete History and Reports Pages) methods of printing. See below for more details.
A new Advanced Field property has been added that determines whether a field is included in a PDF or not
By default it is set to True, so all existing fields will continue to appear in a pdf
Once a field is set to Show in PDF Reports = False, the field will be hidden in a PDF generated using Save and Print and PDF (Form)
In the PDF, the fields that were selected to be hidden in a PDF do not appear
If the Form is open and PDF is clicked on, the PDF will hide any fields set to not show
Example of the PDF output from PDF within the Form
In the Athlete History the fields will continue to appear based on the "Default Show in Tables" setting (these are not affected by the PDF setting)
If a PDF is generated from the Athlete History Page, ALL of the table rows that appear in the Athlete History WILL appear in the PDF (e.g., don't show in PDF is ignored)
A PDF of the Athlete History page table has different properties than the save and print, so the "Show in PDF Reports" setting will NOT be adhere to. The Default Show in Table field properties will be adhered to.
Generate the report
The PDF of the Athlete History Table reflects the Default Show in Table settings, NOT the PDF Advanced Field Setting.
If a PDF is generated as a PDF (Form) THEN the PDF hidden fields WILL automatically be adhered to
PDF (Form) retains the same properties as save and print, so the "Show in PDF Reports" setting will be adhere to.
N.B. You can select to override these settings if you need to (see the
Select the layout
The pdf will display the entries as Form(s) and the hidden pdf fields will not appear
N.B.You can choose to override the PDF visibility settings and to include all fields (outlined in the section below)
You can choose to place a tick in the "Tick to ignore the PDF visibility settings and include all fields in the PDF" check box and ALL of the fields can be included in the PDF.
N.B. On the Reports Page, if PDF is chosen, the fields selected to appear will be based on those that appear in the Reports Table
Fields appear based no what is selected to appear in the Reports Table.
N.B. If PDF Form is selected, the fields that appear are set based on whether they were set in the Show in PDF Reports Advanced Field Property. However, you can override this using the "Tick to ignore the PDF visibility settings and include all fields in the PDF" selection.
If you select PDF Form, you can choose to override the PDF visibility settings and to include all fields
Place a tick in the "Tick to ignore the PDF visibility settings and include all fields in the PDF" check box and ALL of the fields can be included in the PDF.
