Creating a PDF file

It is possible to save and print reports and drawings in PDF format. When the report is saved as a PDF file you can send it as an e-mail attachments straight from CET Designer.

 

To create a PDF file in CET Designer, follow these steps:

  1. Select Print Reports from the File menu. The Print Reports dialog box opens.

  2. Go to the Report Settings tab and select the check boxes for the reports, drawings and perspectives that you would like to print.

  3. Select the PDF check box in the bottom-left corner and then select Preview. The drawing and/or reports are shown in PDF format.

  4. Save or print the PDF-file from the preview window.    

  5. To create a PDF file and attach it to an e-mail message in one step, click E-mail.

Note: You can only create a PDF file when you have Extensions installed in CET Designer. If you do not have Extension installed, you can only print the contents of a print frame, i.e. a drawing.
