  • 1.  Create PDF Document : Missing Sections

    Posted 12-13-2022 06:42
    Being a "low code" person, I love the flexibility to create bespoke documents using the PDF Document Creator, but just discovered a tip to share with others to save a little headscratching ...


    I have discovered that when you ask the system to show selected pages, for some reason it does not show the repeatable sections within those pages. However, if you include the Repeatable Section Unique ID as a "page" name it does include them.

    Hey @Stephen Morrison

    All of the questions and sections in a repeatable section are actually contained within a page. This is why you have to define the page UID in the list of pages to include.

    I am opening some dialogue with our product team about this but I suspect that this is just something we need to have better documentation on.

    I'll follow-up with you here once I have some feedback to provide.

    Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!​

    Sadly, the repeatable sections don't appear for me unless I name them
