Outputting documents

This chapter provides information on how to output documents via PlanMaker.

The chapter contains the following sections:

The first section deals with the command File | Print preview. This displays the document on the screen exactly as it will appear on the printout, thus saving unnecessary test prints.

▪Printing a document

To actually print the current document on the printer, choose the command File | Print.

▪Exporting a document as a PDF file

You can also export a document to a PDF file by choosing the command File | PDF export.

PDF files can be viewed on virtually any computer, provided that a suitable PDF viewer is installed there. All formatting and objects of the document are retained exactly as in the original file.

▪Sending a document by e-mail (not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)

Finally, documents can also be sent by e-mail. The command File | Send is responsible for this process.

See the following pages for more detailed information on these functions.
