Tiling Images

You can set your photos so they appear as three tiles across the page. This comes in handy when you have a screen with multiple images that you would like to show left to right. However, this setting is only available on the Single Photo style.

  1. Add a Photo field to your form or locate an existing one and select the gear icon to open the Field Settings modal.
  2. Toggle to the More tab.
  3. Check the option for Tile Photo under Standard PDF.Builder_Photo Field Settings_More_Tile Photo.png
  4. Select Done to close the modal and Save.

Please Note

Regardless of the image size you select, tiled images will always show as the smallest size.

Show This Field on PDF

By default, all fields are set to Always show on the PDF. The only exception to this is the Static Image field as it's intended to only be a reference image within a form.

  1. Add a field to your form or locate an existing one and select the gear icon to open the Field Settings modal.
  2. Toggle to the More tab.
  3. Select the dropdown for Show This Field on PDF.Builder_Field Settings_More_Show This Field on PDF.png
  4. Select Done to close the modal and Save.

Show All Fields on PDF

By default, showing all fields is set to Always for all screens. 

  1. Add a screen or locate an existing screen and select the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen to open Screen Settings.
  2. On the General tab, select the dropdown for Show all fields on PDF.Builder_Screen Settings_Show all fields on PDF.png
  3. Select Done to close the modal and Save.
