How to hide empty inputs of the paragraph field in the PDF Editor?

    Hi

    I have created a table in the PDF that has certain fields populated in it that are pulled from the form. How do I hide fields that are not populated (empty) in the form? I realise I have added manual elements such as "/" in my date fields, but would be OK, if those just showed on their own.

    This is the PDF https://www.jotform.com/pdf-editor/242464560351049

    I have toggled "hide empty form fields" to on (ticked).

    Thanks...

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, it is not possible to hide the specific text on a paragraph field in the PDF Editor. The paragraph field is considered one field, which will be hidden once the fields in your form are left unanswered.

    As a workaround, you can create a new PDF Document and display only the selected options that have completed data. Let me show you how:

    1. In PDF Editor, click the +New PDF on the blue navigation bar to create another PDF Document.

    Thanks. This does not really help as this needs to be automated as there are multiple of these generated each day.
