By selecting a form's printable checkbox a print  icon will be displayed at the top of your form. When the form is used and the printer icon is clicked the form is rendered in a new browser tab and a pdf document is generated and downloaded depending on your browser settings. The name of the pdf file will be <form name>.pdf unless the form was designed to name the pdf something different. The form pdf file can then be printed. Only PDFs are supported. | Info |

Workflows do not currently support this print feature. See Printing Flows for other options. |
All controls also have a printable property. A control's Printable property is checked by default. If you un-check this property then the control will not appear in the pdf. This property can also be set dynamically via a business rule by setting <control>.printable = [true|false]. 
There are a few differences between the browser view and the print view. For instance, decorators and placeholders do not appear in the pdf document; collapsed sections will appear expanded; and tabs will be rendered one tab under another. Print Styles, (font, orientation, margins and header/footer content) for PDFs generated as part of a submission can be selected by the designer. | Note |

If you are trying to make the print view of a table control consistent with the browser view, set the column widths explicitly at either the column cell level or at the table level. |
Use the PDF generation feature if you need a "Pixel Perfect" representation of your form. |

Follow these steps:
- Stop the server
- Open the directory <frevvo-home>/tomcat/webapps/frevvo and copy the WEB-INF/fonts to a temporary location on your desktop.
- Add your font file (unifont.tff file is an example) to the WEB-INF/fonts directory.
- Save the file
- Replace the original WEB-INF/fonts file with the new updated file.
- Re-start your server.
- Select the Print Font for PDFs in the Forms Designer as discussed below.

Apply the style to your form by selecting it from the Style dropdown on the Style tab on the Form Properties Wizard.
The default PDF print font is not a match for an html Arial font. Select DejaVuSans from the Print Font property and the PDFs will now have a very close approximation to the Arial font. If you want the PDFs to be printed using a true Arial font, then you must purchase the correct font, install it, and select it from the Print Font property. Once you have the Arial font set you want to use, follow the steps for Installing the Character Set to add it to . Finally select your new font. The example shown below is for a font file called arialuni.ttf. Your font family name may be different.
