Goodmorning everyone,

I have been working with REDCap since two months. A few days ago, it has been asked to me to develop a form with tables and questions and then export the data (it is MANDATORY to be in PDF). But I faced a problem: when I export the form, in the PDF file the table grill, the columns and the rows disappear but the data that I inserted in the table itself. 
I made some research in Google, but I could not find anything of help and colleagues of mine could not find any solution.
Please, can you help me? I hope the question is clear and not too complex. And who knows, it could be useful for someone else too.

Thank you so much in advance.
Best regards,

Matteo Riva

Have you tried using print to PDF in your browser? If you're trying to print blank PDFs to be filled out on paper, just create a new record and print to PDF there.

Goodmorning,

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, I am afraid it is not so simple. Yes, "print to PDF" in my browser maintains the table grill and it is a PDF file, but it also prints buttons, options, phrases (such as "*must provide values"). All things that I do not need and I do not want. 
In summary, what I want is exactly the simple structure of "Download PDF of instrument(s)", but with the table grill maintained.
I hope it is clearer now.

Thank you again.
Best regards,

Matteo
