    But there is another question: we had some conditions to show or hide questions and informations. One of those are the informations about price, and it is conditional to one of the questions (number of employees). In the middle of form, we intend to show the paragraph with the right cost to the select number.

    How can we put this information into the pdf file (the original, and/or the pdf made by the jotform itself)? We can create some role to put only the information selected in pdf?

    Hi abiarbmkt,

    Since it's a paragraph element, this will be shown in the PDF even if it's hidden. Check out my screencast below:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page and from the Basic tab, select Long Text.
    2. From the Advanced tab, enter the Default Value.
    3. Toggle Read Only and Hide Field. Show paragraph field in the original or default PDF Image 2 Screenshot 101
    4. Do the same with the other results.

    After this, make the necessary adjustments in your conditions. Here's the result: Show paragraph field in the original or default PDF Image 3 Screenshot 112 If you want this to be visible in the original PDF, map it with the original PDF. If you don't have any field in the original PDF that will match with the form fields, you can just place it on your preferred location in the original PDF. Check out my screencast below:

    1. In Smart PDF Forms Builder, click on Settings on the blue navigation bar at the top of the page.
    2. Select Form Settings from the left side window.
    3. Click on Show More Options.Show paragraph field in the original or default PDF Image 5 Screenshot 134
    4. Look for Clear Hidden Field Values and select Clear when hidden.Show paragraph field in the original or default PDF Image 6 Screenshot 145
