Enketo allows PDF exports but they aren't always the best for these purposes. If I was to give any feedback it would be to decide on what the purpose of the word exports is. If it is for someone who will review the content of the form then maybe it works well as it is.
If the purpose is for someone who needs to fill in the form but realises they cannot do it digitally, then maybe the choices should have check boxes and the text questions should have spaces ______. In that scenario the question "name" might not be needed.
Thanks for the feedback! Your suggestions are well recieved - indeed, the checkbox and _________ type filler is something I'm keen on adding too.
The goal (at least initially) was to aid in form/survey review, iteration and enumerator training.
It is very much a developing project, so i will try my best to incorporate your suggestions in the next update (might take a bit of time for the next update though!)
Just to jump back in here as well, I'll be using this a couple times this week for work, and yes, it will be for people to check/review the form.
In this context, I'd also want to echo @Stephen_K_ojwang that one"formatting" thing I typically do when doing similar printouts for reviewers (usually doing that much more manually, which is what's so nice about your tool) is use "groups" to kind of organise my printout, so highlight the group header row in a different colour, bold, that kind of thing, and leave a blank space.
Not sure how that would work in a programmed type of app. However, I could share an example of that would be helpful to ponder with.
But also, I really see that this could be a really nice way to also do a printout for paper forms, as @noel described.
I definitely agree with @janna on value for the colours (or alternative designs) for groups.
Even if there is no indication of which being_group and end_group lines are pairs, simply formatting them differently to the other questions is already very useful. Especially if they are "field-list" groups that should appear on one mobile device screen.
Thanks for this feedback; I like the idea of adding groups as well. I am currently traveling but will work on this and try to push an update soon (maybe a week and a half!).
Hi Janna, thanks for flagging these too. Will look into it as well. Would you mind sharing an anonymized sample questionnaire IF possible via dm? I might need to sit and check which questions are getting dropped and why!
Hi @zaeendesouza , maybe it would be useful to show (optionally) only a preview or select_one or select_multiple options as a simple list (option_1, option_2, [...], last option)
Thank you for the new contribution to ODK ecosystem! Just in case you are not aware, there are also some similar open source ODK tools out there used to similarly convert ODK forms to more printable PDF and DOC formats: https://github.com/pmaengineering/ppp. [I dont know to what extent this project is still being actively worked on, but I recall it is something that @aurdipas presented a while back, so he may know latest. I've no affiliation, just thought it might be of interest to this audience].
