Print or download forms with or without hidden fields

Bookem lets you print or export client forms with full control over which fields are shown, including the option to include hidden fields.

This is especially useful when:

  • The form includes large blocks of instructional text that aren't needed on printouts

  • You want to hide headers or section titles to simplify the layout

  • You’re trying to reduce the number of pages to save paper

Control hidden fields for exporting or printing

Here's how:

  • Go to Forms in the main menu

  • Find the relevant form and click to open and edit it

  • Click on the field you want to edit

  • Toggle 'Show when printing' ON/ OFF

Note: If a field does not have this toggle, it means the field can not be hidden and will be printed by default

Export or print a form containing hidden fields

Here's how:

  • Go to Forms in the main menu

  • Find and open the relevant form

  • Click the three-dotted kebab next to the form name

  • Select 'View responses'

  • Find the client’s submission by looking for their name

  • Click the kebab menu and choose one of the options:

    - Print with hidden fields

    - Generate PDF with hidden fields

💡 Pro-Tip: 

This option forces all fields, even those marked as hidden, to appear in the exported PDF

Note: blank forms can't be printed. Only filled-in forms submitted by clients.
