Printing
Printing forms and documents is done differently in each browser but is accessed in all browsers by generating a PDF via the use of the Print Icon, through the Print Menu, viewing Blank Forms, and through various other means. For help on using general form functions (e.g. Create/Open Version, Save, etc.) and accessing preloaded versions, see the General Form Functions page.
