Setting Your Printing Preferences

You can set your preferences for how forms and their data are printed as PDF files.

When designing a form, your administrator sets the form's printing options, for example, whether to include Supporting Detail. You can accept these default settings or set your own preferences for printing PDF files. To print to a PDF file, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed.

Note:

The Print option is only available with Forms 1.0. If you're using Forms 2.0, you can use the browser's print feature or the Excel Print feature in Oracle Smart View for Office if you require printing.
