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.
