PDF export settings and style controls
GravityExport lets you customize the appearance of your PDF exports using built-in settings—no code required. There are two places where PDF settings are configured: per-feed settings (specific to each export feed) and global settings (applied across all exports).
Per-feed PDF export settings #
Each GravityExport feed has its own PDF Export Settings section. To access these settings, go to Forms > Settings > GravityExport, then open the feed you want to configure.
Page orientation
Choose between Portrait (vertical) and Landscape (horizontal) layout for your PDF. Landscape is useful for forms with many fields, as it provides more horizontal space for columns.
Page size
Select a standard page size from the dropdown (e.g., Letter, A4). This controls the dimensions of each page in the exported PDF.
Show title
Choose whether to display a title at the top of your PDF. Select No title to omit it, or choose a title option to include one.
Show page number
Check Yes, show page numbers to display page numbers on your PDF. This is helpful for multi-page exports with many entries.
Use colors
Control how row colors are applied in your PDF table:
- For all rows — applies the primary colors to every row
- For odd/even rows — applies the primary colors to odd rows and secondary colors to even rows, creating an alternating striped effect for easier reading
Header colors
Set the text color and background color for the header row of your PDF table. This helps visually distinguish column headers from entry data.
Primary colors
Set the text color and background color for data rows (or odd rows, if using alternating colors).
Secondary colors
When using alternating row colors, set the text color and background color for even rows.
Global PDF settings #
Global settings apply to all GravityExport PDF exports across your site. To access them, go to GravityKit > Settings > GravityExport and look for the PDF settings section.
Font family
Choose a font for your PDF exports from the dropdown (e.g., Arial). This font applies to all text in the exported PDF.
Page number alignment
If page numbers are enabled in your feed settings, this controls their position on the page. Options include Left, Center, and Right.
Inline images
Toggle this on to render uploaded image files directly inside the PDF. When enabled, file upload fields that contain images will display the actual image in the PDF instead of a file URL.
Use header image
Toggle this on to add a logo or banner image to the top of your PDF exports. This is useful for branding your exports with your company logo.
Note: For more advanced styling beyond these built-in options, you can apply custom CSS to your PDF exports. See Styling PDF file exports using CSS for details.
