The forms created for the tablets are easy to read and flow well when being completed by the user. However, this is not reflected when the same form is converted to PDF.
- The information is all over the place,
- the font size cannot be adjusted.
- The column widths in tables vary depending on how many photos are inserted, etc ...
Some of the most annoying / confusing features of the tables are as follows:
- The task associated with a row is not near that row but at the end of the table (which can be lengthy)
- Not only that, but the photo(s) taken with that task is after the list of tasks.
This might be OK for the person doing the audit but, to the reader of the report, it is very messy & looks unprofessional to say the least.
In our business, the reports are not working documents where the content is more important than the presentation; It is the opposite: Our PDF reports are issued to senior management and we MUST provide them with a professional looking report.

Would be great to have the options to change the orientation or set the page size at point of generating the report. Would be really great to have this incorporated into a print preview type of functionality.
Very similar issue also with the overall 'Task report' generated from New FV (from the actions button). The formatting often makes the reports unusable. Images from one task will often appear on the following page with the next task immediately underneath, making it very confusing.
Could you provide an update of your 'In Review' status. I have had to remove some forms, particularly permits, from the system as our Health and Safety Director refuses to allow use of the forms in their current state. This is not a very good situation for us to be in.
completely agree! if you cannot produce professional looking PDF's allow your customers to use their existing word templates(or whatever else we use) with variables linked to the reports generated in FV with webmerge dot com. so our reports go out to clients looking professional again.
