    Hi internationalforms,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can hide the non-filled questions from appearing in the PDF by using the PDF Editor's feature to hide empty fields. Let me show you how:

    1. Open PDF Editor for your form.
    2. Click on the Gear icon in the upper right corner to open PDF Settings.
    3. Check the box next to "Hide Empty Fields".

    This setting will automatically hide any questions that were not filled out when the PDF is generated, so only the answered questions will appear.
