Exporting a section to Portable Document Format (.PDF) allows you to preserve the layout and format of the original section and transfer it across multiple platforms (such as Windows, UNIX and the Macintosh). It also enables you to save, print and distribute the file easily and effectively.
To display and print a PDF file you must have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader™ installed. Acrobat Reader is a self-contained application that can behave as an Internet Browser plug-in or as a stand-alone application.
Acrobat Reader enables you to view, print and share a PDF file, but does not enable you to create or modify it. The Acrobat Reader is free and can be downloaded from Adobe’s website.
When the Acrobat Reader has been installed, you might have to configure your browser to use it. For example you may need to associate Acrobat Reader as the application to read PDF files, or have the PDF display in a separate window instead of the same window. You open a PDF file by double clicking the PDF in the Explore module.
To save a PDF to your desktop for offline viewing, click the Acrobat Reader Save as Copy icon on the Acrobat Reader toolbar. You are prompted to specify the directory in which to save the file.
To print a PDF, click the Acrobat Reader Print icon. You are prompted to specify print parameters and to print the report.
If the Acrobat Reader has not been installed, the File download dialog opens. You can save the file to disk and open it from a location that you specify.
