Actually the issue is caused by the fact that the labels of the fields in app within minutes generated sheet are html label elements (

<label>

), and xhtml2fo.xsl, which we use to transform xhtml to xsl-fo (which is then output as pdf), is ignoring the label elements, since there is no equivalent in xsl-fo (or at least that's what the comment in xhtml2fo.xsl says). The fix would be to modify xhtml2fo.xsl to transform the label elements in the same way in which it transforms a span element (semantically, a label is a span with some special properties to attach it to an input).
