Hello
I would like to know if there is a possibility to print the form in android format. I need to make a user manual of the complete form and has more than 300 questions.

The only thing that you can do with CSPro is to use an undocumented tool with the following steps:

1) Run the ExportXMLMetadata tool, likely located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\CSPro 7.0\ExportXMLMetadata.exe

2) Select HTML.

3) Select your dictionary (extension .dcf).

4) Select your question text (extension .qsf).

Run the tool and you'll get an HTML file with the questions / response categories. This may not be exactly what you want, but you can open that HTML file in software like Word and then edit it in there.

Dear Gregory,

It does not work with dictionary with multiple records. Is there another way to do it?
Thanks

I'm surprised that the ExportXMLMetadata tool doesn't work. Can you send your .dcf/.qsf files to cspro@lists.census.gov? We can see why it is not working.

Other than that, the only way to accomplish your task is to write a custom tool yourself to do this.

Gregory,

The issue has been fixed thanks to your support.
It said it was related to some characters in the dictionary file and it was fixed using the 7.1 beta version.

I am glad to have it working in the next official release.
Thanks for your support.
