Key Notes

• Font size, color, and style are fixed and cannot be modified.

• However, the page size of a form can be adjusted. Because the font size remains constant, changing the page size will scale the text visually when printed.

  • A smaller page size results in text appearing larger on paper.

  • A larger page size makes the text appear smaller.

• Changes are applied per page and will affect all content on that page.

⚠️ Please note: When printing, always check that your print settings are set to “Scale to Fit” and “Fill Entire Paper” to align the layout properly.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Access Company-Level Settings

   • Go to the sidebar menu > Settings > Categories

2. Select a Process Template

   • Locate and click on the desired process template
   • Open the template in Draft mode

3. Adjust Page Size

   • Click the three-dot menu (︙) of the form page
     
     
   • Select Change Paper Size
     
     
     
     

4. Choose Page Mode

   • You will have two options:
     • Standard Mode:
       • Select a standard page layout: Portrait or Landscape
       • Choose a page size: A5, A4, A3, etc.
         
     • Custom Mode:
       • Zoom in/out to resize the form image manually
       • Align the form scale with the “Sample Text” preview
       • Drag the Sample Text to position it and preview the font scaling
         

5. Click OK to Confirm

   • The change will be applied to the current form page only

Example

Below is a sample comparison of different page size settings.
Note that the same font appears larger on smaller pages due to scaling.

And this is the downloaded version — note that the page size is different in the PDF.

Reminders

• Only Company Admins can perform this action

• Adjustments apply to each page individually

• Ensure consistent paper size settings when printing to avoid layout misalignment

FAQs & Troubleshooting

Q: Can I adjust the font size, style, or color directly in the form?

A: No. The font style, size, and color are fixed. The only way to influence how the text appears is by adjusting the page size, which affects how large or small the text appears when printed.

Q: Who can change the page size of a form?

A: Only users with Company Admin rights can change the page size in the process template settings.

Q: Will the page size change affect all pages in the form?

A: No. The change applies only to the specific page being edited. Each form page must be updated individually if needed.

Q: How can I make sure the printed version aligns correctly?

A: When printing, ensure you select “Scale to Fit” and “Fill Entire Paper” in your printer settings to align the layout with the selected paper size.
