Hide sections in PDF view doesn't work

Hi,
I set some sections hidden in an edit form depending on certain data in the database. This works well in the edit form. But when I make a PDF out of it, all sections are always displayed. Also the ones that are hidden in the form. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for help!

This is the way how it is supposed to work. It will print exactly what was created in the Page Designer. It cannot take into account the dynamic information alike hidden or collapsed sections.

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Sorry, but this is not logical. If I dynamically hide certain parts in a form and the user then sees these areas in the generated PDF, then this function makes no sense.

Moreover, it works very well for individual data fields, but not for sections. What is the reason for this exception?

This is how it works at the moment. We will see if this is something that can be changed.

If this is something that is important for your project, upload you project to Demo Account and contact support directly, explaining how this issue can be reproduced.
