Form entry exports carry every page and every photo again

Exporting form entries as printable forms gave you a PDF with one page in it. The download succeeded and the file opened normally, so the missing entries only turned up when someone read the document. It made no difference how many entries you picked: five or two hundred produced the same single page.

The PDF is built by printing the preview page, and since late August that page had been sized to the height of the browser window. Printing measures the document, found one window's worth, and stopped there.

Printed exports now run to as many pages as the content takes. This covers the printable forms download from Forms and Entries, the inspection and summary PDFs, and the template PDF, which was cut the same way.

The Photos only download had a second problem, and an older one: since mid-July the zip had been arriving with nothing in it, whatever photos the forms held. The export reads the photos out of a copy of the entry data, and a change in July switched that copy to carrying links to the photos rather than the files themselves, so the export packed none.

Photo downloads now contain the photos, and the printable forms zip carries them alongside the PDF. If you pulled photos any time since mid-July and got an empty file, the export is worth running again.
