Paragraph Breaks in Long Text Fields

Per the response from the support team below, it appears there's currently no way to have paragraph breaks (rather than text simply being displayed on a new line) in long text fields. Would be nice to enable some way to insert paragraph breaks for readability and appearance of pdfs when submitting reports.

"Hi Rodney,
Thanks for reaching out to support.
You must be referring to field Type 'Long Text' for field label '(Condition of sediment & erosion control measures, site conditions, explanation of deficiencies, etc.)' on screen 'VIII. Comments' on App 'Pickens County Construction Site Inspection Form'.

When you are completing a submission on either Android, IOS or Windows they all behave differently and might allow you to create separations between texts As this is a long text field text would always output would always be without paragraph breaks."

    Hi Rodney,

    I believe my colleague in support was referencing the Standard PDF. If you're using the Designer PDF, you can get paragraph breaks on your PDF. Here's a comparison of the two:

    Designer PDF: 

    Those are from the exact same Submission. If you'd like some assistance with the PDF Designer, take a look at some of our help topics: https://help.gocanvas.com/hc/en-us/sections/115000046188-PDF-Designer.
