There is now a "compact" option for PDFs of forms/surveys in which a compact formatted PDF is produced that excludes fields that have no data saved and excludes unselected multiple choice options, thus producing a smaller PDF file. (Note: Section headers and descriptive fields will still be included.) On all pages that offer a PDF download option, there is now an extra "compact" option. The "Export PDF file" API method has the compact option added as a new parameter that can be passed to the method.

If you have a UW-Madison REDCap project and have questions about PDF Downloads, please send them to REDCap@ictr.wisc.edu
