You can create PDF forms with data in some of the controls to choose from. But
if you create the PDF while the form is in design mode, there is no data added
to the controls in the PDF ;)

The use case is printing a form. Not to understand why it is not possible. So
a) 'solves' a follow-up problem, which is to give feedback.

When the confirmation box just says: "Mind, because the form is in design mode,
no data related to controls will be saved" it dóes save the problem, no?

We have a couple of options:
a) Confirmation box when a dialog is printed in design mode (request)
b) Print an empty dialog (comment 8, no action required)
c) Disable printing in design mode
d) Automatically switching to edit mode on print (and back after)
e) WYSIWYP - print what the user is seeing

Option a) doesn't solve the issue, c) leads to confusion why a function is
disabled, d) contains implementation effort, and e) depends on the cause of
this issue. Opinions?

> I think this needs some UX advice...
In that case I remove the keywords "easyHack, filter:pdf, needsDevEval"

I think this needs some UX advice on how to warn the user when this happens or
just take the approach @Lionel suggested.
