dual array in pdf

Asked by JoeNilson

Hi, i need to do a survey with a dual array matrix like:

_____________________________ Your Score ___ Is Fine for You?
_____________________________ 1 2 3 4 5 ___ Yes No

Question A __________________ |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| ___ |_| |_|
Question B __________________ |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| ___ |_| |_|
Question C __________________ |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| ___ |_| |_|
Question (n)_________________ |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| ___ |_| |_|

But the quexmlpdf split the matrix and duplicate the questions, i want to know which function control this or if in the xml format i can do this, the xml file was generated with limesurvey 2.05, i downloaded the quexml 1.5 tool and parsed the xml file in the php tool, in the documentation i see the arrays config but no for dual arrays.

I will apreciate your help.

Hi Joe,

queXML doesn't support this at the moment.

I'd suggest modifying the question in queXML to have 7 response categories (instead of 2 scales, one with 5 one with 2) then manually edit the PDF file to add the header question.

You would then also need to update the banding manually using queXF.

I have had good success manually editing queXMLPDF documents with Libreoffice Draw.

Ok, i do something more manual, but it works!,

1. I keep the dual array and export the quexml from limesurvey.
2. I open the pdf in libreoffice draw and cut and paste the second array near to the first one, deleting the headers from the second array and saved the new pdf.
3. I open the banding xml file and cuting and pasting as a second boxgroup type 1 changing the x and y values to fit the new positions.
4. Imported them in quexf and all go ok.

Thanks for the help, i think that was more complicated change the xml file.

Regards,
