How to print Discoverer workbooks and worksheets to PDF files

Discoverer enables you to print Discoverer workbooks and worksheets to a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. For example, you might want to send an e-mail containing a worksheet to a colleague who uses PDF files to share information.

Note: You must have Adobe Acrobat installed to print to a PDF file.

To print a Discoverer workbook or worksheet to a PDF file:

1. Follow the instructions in "How to print Discoverer workbooks" or "How to print Discoverer worksheets" until the operating system print dialog is displayed.

   For example, when you click OK on the Discoverer Print dialog, if you are using Windows, Discoverer displays the Windows Print dialog.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to create the PDF file.

You can now open the Discoverer workbook or worksheet in an Adobe Acrobat reader.

Notes

• You might also print to a postscript file from the operating system print dialog.

• The format of worksheets in PDF format is the same as the format of printed worksheets. For example, if a worksheet is printed on three sides of A4 paper, the worksheet in PDF format will comprise three pages of A4 sized content.
