Generating a PDF

You can generate a PDF of your dashboard from the print dialog by changing the Print Destination to "Save as PDF". The PDF is generated by your local web browser in conjunction with whatever "PDF printer" plugin is installed on your local machine. PPM Pro generates the HTML for the report/dashboard page and the browser converts that to a PDF. As such, there can be differences in the output based on the browser and PDF printer software being used locally. Note that if you use a PDF print driver instead of the "Save as PDF" option, your resulting file may be larger.

To ensure the best output, you should enable your browser to print background color and images. See Printing Background Colors for more information.
