Hello @Rachengold.

For this kind of issue, I recommend you to open a post on the forum since it is a printanswer configuration issue.

Could you please attach also an working example there and here?

@cdorin : no configuration here, it's a core issue

Reproduce : import included lsa, launch, next, next , print answer export as QueXML

Seems PDF file is too big ? https://framadrop.org/r/7HP5XpjD4c#PD92yJ9GhGQ9k8ZmSVL8XeISYJCgCTFG26BfYMfWaG8=

@adamzammit : can you have a look ?

Hi,

The default type for multiple short text in equivalent queXML is "text" with width 10.

If you would like to adjust this - please see this file:

https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/application/helpers/export_helper.php

application/helpers/export_helper.php

around line 1642:

                case "Q": //MULTIPLE SHORT TEXT
                    quexml_create_subQuestions($question, $qid, $sgq, $iResponseID, $fieldmap);
                    $response->appendChild(QueXMLCreateFree("text", quexml_get_lengthth($qid, "maximum_chars", "10"), ""));
                    $question->appendChild($response);

replace the line $response->appendChild... with:

                $response->appendChild(QueXMLCreateFree("longtext", quexml_get_lengthth($qid, "maximum_chars", "10"), ""));

to change the box type to "longtext"

or

                $response->appendChild(QueXMLCreateFree("text", quexml_get_lengthth($qid, "maximum_chars", "24"), ""));

to extend the number of characters available to view.

You may need to edit both values and test to see how it turns out for you.

So you can just set the question setting Maximum characters in the Input tab when you edit the question and it should be fine.
Closing this because it is not an bug.
