Save Items as Printable PDF Files

If you want to create a printable version of an item, you can save it as a PDF file. When saving items as a PDF, you can choose whether or not to include the item’s scoring guidelines in the PDF file. PDF files display items with paper-friendly formatting (if available) and also display an item’s properties.

You may not be allowed to save printouts of items in certain libraries. If you select an item for which printing is prohibited, a warning message appears when you try to save it as a PDF.

If an item’s content is available in more than one language, you can select the language when you select Save as PDF in the first step.

1.To save an item as a PDF, open the Items tab and select the checkbox for each item you wish to save as a PDF, then select Save as PDF above the table (you may need to apply filters first). If you select multiple items, they will be saved as a single PDF file.

• You may not be able to save a PDF for a large selection of items (the exact number of items at which issues can arise depends on the items’ content).
