Export data to PDF and print

In this blog post I will tell you about new MyTaskHelper feature - Export data to PDF.

Steps to export database view

1. Go to the Records menu and open a view you need.
 2. Find  export to PDF icon on the screen (see the screenshot).
3. Click on it and customize the PDF document:

- Paper size (you select page size, A4 to A0):

  A4 (8.3" x 11.7")
  A3 (11.7" x 16.5")
  A2 (16.5" x 23.4")
  A1 (23.4" x 33.1")
  A0 (33.1" x 46.8")

- Orientation:

  Portrait (page orientation where the height of the display area is greater than the width)
  Landscape (page orientation where a wide view area is needed)

- Printing format:

  Table view (use this option if you need to show a database table on the whole page)
  Individual Entries (use this option if you need to show one record per page)

- Page breaks (if you need to export a grouped view):  

  Fill each page
  Break after each group

You export a view. So you can hide some database columns and export only the data you need.

See instructions on the screenshots:

Steps to export integrated database view

 - Go to the Customize & integrate menu;
 - Open the Database tab;
 - Click on the Action menu;
- Select feature Enable Export to PDF;

- On the integrated view you can see the PDF icon (see the screenshot).

A PDF is a printer-friendly document. In some systems, you may require Acrobate Reader™ to open the file.

The PDF file will be sent to your account email. Click on the icon once and wait. It will take some time, depending on the file size.
