Table cut off in PDF of LFForm with page split

asked on March 20 Show version history

Self-Hosted Forms 11 Update 5 (11.0.2311.50553)

I just noticed something odd with a PDF that was created from a Forms submission using Save to Repository. It looks like when a table is split between two pages, the table is cut off. The text is mostly there, since I'm able to double click and copy/paste; punctuation is missing, replaced by a space. If the full table resides on one page, it looks okay with the same number of rows or more. I know we can honor page breaks when creating the PDF, but this would lead to a lot of blank space on pages and an otherwise unnecessary increased page count. I have also opened a ticket with our VAR.

 

Should have 7 rows

All eight rows showing

Update:

After further testing to find a workaround, I found it's not just tables. I had a multi-line comment field also have its last line truncated when it was split between pages.

It looks like I've found the issue, and it's essentially user error. I was using the below CSS to reduce the unnecessary whitespace  padding the fields. Although everything looks great when the fields reside on a single page, if a field spans a page break the bottom of the field is cut off. Commenting out this code resolved the issue.

.fl-component {
  padding-top: 0px !important;
  padding-bottom: 0px !important;
}

Time to raise this issue again. Commenting out the 0px padding resolved this for the final copy saved to the repository; however, I have since learned that it's not a complete fix. I have an approval step that attaches the current form to the notification. In the notification, the final line is truncated, but the same request is complete in the repo.
