Jobs Manager with custom print / output styling

    Hi,

    We'd like to create a Jobs Manager where the employer can capture data for each job and generate a printable form for the workshop to complete by hand.

    Once the job has been signed off, the hand written job card will be capture via an online form (Gravity Form).

    See the printable form template which we need to create here: http://www.lightyourway.co.za/busbar/jobsman.jpg

    What we have setup so far: http://busbar.co.za/jobsman/?page_id=5

    My question is, will we be able to reproduce this form with Gravity forms with a printable one like the image from above?

    Regards

    I can't see your image (404 error) or the form you referenced. Oops.

    I actually had already replied to you. I personally replied to your Contact Us form request that you had sent a week ago.

    Here is what I had said...

    Gravity Forms is not designed to create printable forms. It is specifically designed as an online form builder to create forms that users fill out and submit online.

    If you need to style the form so it is printable and looks similar to the example image you provided then you would have to do so by writing custom CSS to style the form however you see fit.

    You would have to create a CSS stylesheet that targets print media to style the form as well as hide elements on the site you do not want to print to control exactly what is and is not printed.

    Ultimately this is a customization so it would be on you or a developer you hire to write the necessary CSS to make this happen.
