Designing Pest Control Reports
Create a 3-format pest control report system with identical fields across fillable PDF, printable PDF, and Google Sheet/Form formats.
Python# Sample field mapping structure sections = { "visit_details": ["company_name", "technician_name", "service_date", "arrival_time"], "scope": ["service_scope_checkboxes", "not_included_text", "prior_issues"], "observations": ["pest_types_observed", "activity_level", "areas_with_activity"], # ... continues for all 9 sections }
Page Size: 8.5" x 11" (Letter) Orientation: Portrait Font: Arial 9-10pt for labels, 8-9pt for form fields Form Fields: Optimized for mobile/tablet touch input
Visual Grouping Strategy:
- Header Band: Company branding area (1" top margin)
- Section Boxes: Each section in bordered box with gray header bar
- Two-Column Layout: Where space allows
- Checkbox Groups: 3-4 per row maximum
- Text Fields: Minimum 0.25" height for mobile typing
