What is currently visualized in an analysis can be exported to a PDF document using the Export to PDF dialog. In the dialog, you select what to export, and a preview of the final PDF output is provided.
You access the dialog via File
> Export > To PDF in the main menu, or by clicking on the toolbar.
An example of an Export to PDF dialog is shown above. Beneath What to Export (a), you can select to export the entire analysis (All pages), or export only parts of it. In many cases, a direct click on Export results in a PDF output that serves your needs. However, you can modify the appearance of the output using various settings.
Firstly, modifications that are specific to your export selection can be made. See 'Specifying What to Export'.
Secondly, there are some general settings in the lower-left part of the dialog:
You can decide What to include in the export such as page titles, page numbers, date, and annotations (b).
You can define the Paper size and page Orientation (c), and customize the Proportions of the content on a page (d). The option As it is on your screen keeps the proportions used in the analysis. It is, however, possible to change the Aspect ratio, that is, the relations between width and height of the content of the pages using the Custom option. If you want to directly adapt the proportions so the entire PDF page is utilized, the option Fit to PDF page is available.
When you specify other proportions than are used in the analysis itself, you can also adjust the size of the texts on the page. This can be useful, for example, when the preview shows that some visualization text is truncated. If you decrease the text size, the text can be fully visible.
You can, beneath More settings (e), specify the margins to the edge of the PDF pages and the quality of the images in dots per inch (dpi).
Note: Specifying more dots per inch results in larger files sizes.
The preview (f) represents the final PDF pages, and it updates dynamically to reflect the current settings. Above the preview, the number of PDF pages that are created in the export is displayed (g), and you can use the scroll bar to navigate among them. Buttons for zooming in and out in the preview are available (h). By zooming out, for example, you get an overview of the pages.
