When you click the Print button on the application toolbar in the Charts, Summary, and Timegrid tabs in the Reports module, or in the Financials tab in the Projects module, the Print dialog box opens. When you print a datasheet, chart, or financials data using the Print dialog box, it is printed to a portable document format (PDF) file. The Print page contains two tabs, the General tab and the Options tab. The General tab is used to define the general and margin settings, including the font, paper size and orientation, and page numbering used for the PDF file. After filling out the General and Options tabs, click the Print button on the Print dialog box to print the datasheet or chart to the PDF file.
To print to a

PDF file,
Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.02 or later must be installed on the machine from which you are printing.
- Font Select the font and font size to use from the Font lists.
- Paper Size Select the size of the paper you want to use.
- Orientation Select Portrait to print using the portrait orientation. Select Landscape to print using the landscape orientation.
- Include page numbers Select this option to include page numbers on each page.
- Save Settings Select this option to save your general and margin settings on the General tab. When Save Settings is selected, the settings on the General tab will be the default settings each time you open the Print dialog box. Selecting Save Settings does not save your settings on the Options tab.
- Left Type the left page margin you want to use for the pages of the PDF file in inches.
- Right Type the right page margin you want to use for the pages of the PDF file in inches.
- Top Type the top page margin you want to use for the pages of the PDF file in inches.
- Bottom Type the bottom page margin you want to use for the pages of the PDF file in inches.
The view you are currently in determines the boxes available on the Options tab. In the Charts tab, the Options tab is used to determine whether all of the selected datasheet's charts are printed or just the currently selected chart. In the Summary and Timegrid tabs, the Options tab is used to determine whether charts defined for the selected datasheet's dashboard are printed to the PDF file, whether text wraps when the datasheet is printed, and the column settings for the PDF file. In the Financials tab, the Options tab is used to determine whether the PDF includes the Self, Roll-up, and External values, entries from the View pane, and/or the Breakeven chart for the item. The Options tab is also used to define the maximum number of columns allowed on a page.
After filling out the General and Options tabs, click the Print button on the Print dialog box to the PDF file.
When you print a chart to a PDF file, only the default attributes defined for the chart on the Attributes tab and the default datasheet snapshot defined on the Chart Settings tab on the Chart Properties dialog box are used for printing the chart. Default attributes are the first attribute listed in each parameter box on the Attributes tab. The default datasheet snapshot is the snapshot selected in the chart using this data list on the Chart Settings tab.
To print datasheets or charts to a

- All Charts Select this option to print all of the selected datasheet's charts.
- Selected Chart Select this option to only print the chart currently selected in the Charts tab.
For the
Options tab in the
Reports module,
Summary tab:
- Include Dashboard Charts Select this check box to print the charts defined for the selected datasheet's dashboard. When you print a chart to a PDF file, only the default attributes defined for the chart on the Attributes tab and the default datasheet snapshot defined on the Chart Settings tab on the Chart Properties dialog box are used for printing the chart. Default attributes are the first attribute listed in each parameter box on the Attributes tab. The default datasheet snapshot is the snapshot selected in the chart using this data list on the Chart Settings tab.
- Include Summary Select this check box to print the datasheet's summary information with the datasheet. The Include Summary check box is selected by default. Clear the check box to exclude the datasheet's summary information from the datasheet.
- Maximum Columns Per Page Type The maximum numbers of summary columns to print on a page for the selected datasheet.
- Percentages The Percentages box displays the current column width percentages for each column of the summary section on the selected datasheet.
- Allow Cells to Wrap Select the Allow Cells to Wrap check box to have the text in the datasheet's cells wrap when you print the datasheet. Clear the check box to turn off the text wrapping.
- Include Timegrid Select the Include Timegrid check box to print the datasheet's timegrid data with the datasheet. The Include Timegrid check box is selected by default when there is timegrid data on the selected datasheet. Clear the check box to exclude the datasheet's timegrid information from the datasheet. (This check box is only available in the Timegrid tab.)
- Maximum Columns Per Page Type The maximum numbers of timegrid columns to print on a page in the Maximum Columns Per Page Type box for the selected datasheet. (This box is only available in the Timegrid tab.)
- Percentages The Percentages box displays the current column width percentages for each column of the timegrid section on the selected datasheet. The percentages for each column of the timegrid section on the selected datasheet. The columns are listed from left to right. (This box is only available in the Timegrid tab.)
For the
Options tab in the
Financials tab:
- Include Details Select the Include Details option to include all Self, Roll-up, and External values, as well as any item from the View pane for each tab in the Financials tab in the PDF.
- Include Breakeven Chart Select this option to include the Breakeven chart for the item in the PDF.
- Maximum Columns Per Page Type The maximum numbers of columns to print on a page.
