Previewing Forms

Previewing Forms

You must preview your forms before printing or converting the forms to PDF format. That way you can be sure that you are satisfied that your forms have been completed and that you have selected the pages that you want to print or convert to PDF format.

Click File|"Print/Preview/Convert to PDF" to display the Print Selection Screen where you can select forms to preview. Once you preview the forms, you will be given the option to print the selected forms or to convert the selected forms to PDF format for emailing.

To preview only the current form that you were editing, click the top button ("Preview/Print/PDF Current Form"). Your filled-in form will be displayed in a preview window and you will have the option of printing it or converting it to PDF format.

If you would like to preview/print/email multiple forms at the same time, click the check box next to each form that you want to preview/print/email, then click the second button for ("Preview/Print/PDF Checked Forms"). Your filled-in forms will be previewed and you will have the option of printing them or converting to PDF format.

For ease of viewing, you may choose to display only the forms you have checked. To do so, click the "Show Only Checked Forms" button at the top of the printing options box.

When using print preview, the viewable screen can be dragged up or down with the mouse in order to bring hidden portions into view. Double-clicking with your left mouse button on the preview window will zoom in to enlarge the image of the form; double-clicking with the right mouse button will zoom out to show more of the form.

Once your forms are previewed, you can print them (see Printing a Form) or you can convert them to PDF format for emailing (see Converting Files to PDF Format).

The preview screen displays various options:

The navigation bar (circled in the graphic above) enhances your mobility throughout the print preview. The right and left arrow buttons closest to the page number move you to the next or previous page, respectively. The arrow buttons to the extreme right or left will move you to the very last page or the very first page of the preview, respectively. Clicking the magnifying glass will cause the preview toggle back and forth from a full-page view. You may adjust the zoom of the preview by choosing options from the drop-down menu to the right of the magnifying glass.
