*'''Show "There are X questions in this survey"''': It shows the number of questions the survey contains to the user participants. The number of the questions is shown in the moment in which someone wishes to start the survey.
*'''Font size of PDFs''': 9 is the default size for normal text. The group title font size is the value introduced in this box plus two, while the font size  of the survey's title is the value introduced in this box plus four. In the default case scenario, the PDF uses a font size of 9 for normal text, of 11 for group titles, and of 13 for the title of the survey
*'''Width of PDF header logo''': the 'dimension' of the PDF header logo. ''The logo appears only on the PDF file that includes the answers of the survey participants to a survey - a survey participant may wish to export his answers after completing the survey.''
*'''PDF header title''': If it is left empty, the site name will be used. ''The PDF header title appears only on the PDF file that is the result of the survey participant's wish to export his answers after completing a survey.''
*'''PDF header string''': If empty, the survey name will be used. ''The PDF header string appears only on the PDF file that is the result of the survey participant's wish to export his answers after completing a survey.''
*'''Show question group title and/or description''': It works in the same manner as the '''Show question number and/or question code''' function.
*'''Show 'no answer' option for non-mandatory questions''': When a radio button/select type question that contains editable answers (i.e.: List & array questions) is not mandatory and the "show 'no answer'" is also enabled (default), an additional entry "No answer" is shown for each subquestion - so that survey respondents may choose not to answer the question. You can select from the global settings one of the following options:
**''Selectable'' : If the LimeSurvey administrator selects it, a survey administrator can choose whether his/her own survey displays the "no answer" option for non-mandatory questions or not (see the [[Presentation]] wiki section for more details)
**''On'' (default value): If this option is chosen, all non-mandatory questions will contain the "no answer" option - this cannot be changed by the survey administrator because the global settings trump [[Survey settings|survey settings]]
**''Off'' : If off, the non-mandatory questions will not display any "no answer" option - this cannot be changed by the survey administrator because the global settings trump the [[Survey settings|survey settings]]
*'''Show header in answers export PDFs''': Turn it off (default) if you would like to see nothing in the header of the PDF that contains the answers of the respondents. If it is turned on, the following information will be displayed in the header of the PDF that contains the respondents' answers
*'''Add gray background to questions in PDF''': It is turned 'On' by default. ''This function refers to export-responses PDFs.''
*'''PDF questions in bold''': It is turned 'Off' by default. ''This functions refer to export-responses PDFs.
*'''Borders around questions in PDF''': It is turned "On" by default. ''This function refers to export-responses PDFs.''
*'''Borders around responses in PDF''': It is turned "On" by default. ''This function refers to export-responses PDFs.'
