# PDF view for repeated questions

Choose how repeated questions appear in generated PDFs.

### PDF view for repeated questions

Use **PDF view** to choose how a **Repeated** question appears in a generated PDF. It does not change the form or mobile app layout.

This setting is for people who build forms in the form editor. It is stored as `pdfStyle` in the form template.

### The two views

| Option           | What the PDF shows                                                                                                                                                             |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Classic View** | Each repeated item appears as its own block. The PDF shows the item title, then label-and-answer pairs. Images appear below the answers. This is the standard form PDF layout. |
| **Table View**   | The repeated question appears as one table. The PDF shows its title, a header row, and one row per item.                                                                       |

### Default behaviour

{% hint style="info" %}
If **PDF view** is not set, the PDF follows the existing display style.

A **Table Question** defaults to **Table View**. **Repeated sections** and **Plotted Sections** default to **Classic View**.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sharinpix.com/forms/form-pdf-configuration/pdf-view-for-repeated-questions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
