Specifications for QueXF and QueXML

Asked by David Duehren

My impression of the documents generated by QueXML have a lot of white space, and take a lot of room to ask a question and get answers.

My question is how dense can the form be? Can it be formatted so that it doesn't have sections, etc. What if it just had questions with answer boxes?

Or how about on a single line: First Name [Letter boxes]
How about Do you smoke? Yes [checkbox] No [checkbox] rather than waste space with column headers, but support column headers if there are enough questions with the same set of answers.

I know things like Barcodes, and corner lines/boxes are very helpful.

the question is how dense can the forms be? And where are the limitations - in QueXML or QueFX?

In short what are the specifications of what can be done along these lines.

Thank you,

Hi David,

For processing using queXF - the form can basically be as dense as you can make it.

The default queXML output can be modified by changing the settings passed to the quexmlpdf.php file (see here for some options: https://surveys.acspri.org.au/quexmltools/quexml ) and if that doesn't achieve your aim, by editing the quexmlpdf.php file. Also I'd suggest looking at the "rotate" attribute for single response questions in queXML. To really squeeze more questions on you will most likely need to edit the quexmlpdf.php file. Let me know if you have any specific questions on how to do this.

Adam Zammit
