Form format (Table field and

Hi all,

When setting up a form, I’m struggling to choose between Web Form and Merge Form since both have their pros and cons. I’m wondering if I’m missing a configuration option or if these limitations are inherent to the product. Attached actual exported files for your reference. 

1. Web Form:

• Can the Table Field in the designer adjust its width dynamically based on the value length, or at least be manually adjusted?Sometimes, the value is less than 8mm, but the exported PDF appears fixed at 39mm based on the Form Width Pixels.
   
• Can user instructions be hidden after submission?
  I’d like them to be visible for applicants but hidden in the exported PDF.
   
• Can unselected values in a Ratio Field be hidden?
  I need applicants to see all options but only display selected values in the exported PDF.

 

2. Merge Form:

To address the issues above, I tried using a Merge Form, and it worked well for my needs. However, I ran into one major obstacle:

• After submission, Table Field values don’t appear in the exported Merge Form file (no matter PDF, Word, or Excel).
  Is Table Field designed merely to be collecting the data into entries? or how Table Field should be used in Merge Form?

Has anyone encountered these issues before or found workarounds? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
