Printing

Click on the File tab, press the Options button and select the Printing page in the dialog that appears.

A PDF or MS Word file with a process can be prepared for printing in two ways: as a process diagram and as a list of process steps with their properties (report). You can influence some aspect of this preparation by setting some default options. All these options can be later overruled by Printing and Reporting for each particular process.

Check Including subprocesses box if you want to print information (diagram, report) about all subprocesses recursively.

By selecting Subprocess placement you decide where information about subprocesses should be placed: either each subprocess On separate page or Nested in main process.

By selecting Diagram placement you can decide if the diagram should be added to your report After properties, Before properties or not at all (None).

Check Include page footer box if you want to add a page footer to each page that contains a diagram.

The process diagram is prepared as one big image cut into pieces if it does not fit to one page. The area that is available on one page for a process diagram depends on the margins sizes and the included page footer. Usually that area does not contain an integer number of process steps (neither horizontally nor vertically) so to prevent the page border to cross a process step icon the margins are made even bigger than specified.

Check Shrink to fit to ensure that the diagram will be printed on the desired number of horizontal and vertical pages (these numbers are defined in Pages horizontally and Pages vertically, respectively).

Take into account that if the Zoom factor is small the diagram is shrunk to such extend that the texts on the picture becomes difficult to read.

You can select the default Page Size for the PDF or MS Word files with diagrams and reports. The actual page size while printing depends on the printer settings.

Press Report Settings button to open a wizard where you can specify how the default report should look like.
