Trying out the PDF widget (to export page images to JPG) and while this "works", the displayed PDF contains form fields that have entries but these are not displayed when opened with the PDF widget.
I could use the browser widget to load the PDF but this doesn't enable me to scale the container effectively AFAIK to increase the output resolution by doubling or similar before export.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Any suggestions/alternatives (multiplatform)?
MacOS 26.0.1
LC 10.0.2
Thanks in advance and cheers!

Re: PDF widget not displaying PDF form data
On further investigation, sounds like this may be a limitation of the PDFium library, on which the widget is built...?
Re: PDF widget not displaying PDF form data
Have you considered using "export snapshot" to create the jpgs? The drawback is that you'd get a series of images if the PDF is more than one page.

Re: PDF widget not displaying PDF form data
Hi Jacque, yes, that's what I'm doing, it's easy to do. BUT the problem is that the PDF widget does not display the form data. i.e. the fields in the form that have data entered into them.
