Export
Notepad documents are designed for printing and exporting as a PDF or DOCX with support for modifying page orientation, defining page headers and footers, and print-specific settings for widgets.
DOCX export in Notepad is in the beta phase of development. Functionality may change during active development.
Notepad currently supports the following widgets for DOCX export:
- Clip
- Code Workbook Chart
- Contour Chart
- File Reference (Compass)
- Image
- Object Card
- Object Media Preview
- Object Property
- Page break
- Quiver Analysis Chart
- Quiver Dashboard Chart
- Solution Designer Diagram
- Table
- Vertex Graph
- Map
Export a document
Export a document by using the File menu on the top right, Export, then Export as PDF or Export as DOCX. Notepad will save your document in the selected file format once the document has been rendered.
The background rendering time is capped when exporting. Should the document contain many charts that require long computations, the limit may be reached and prevent your chart from fully loading. In these cases, use the Open in print mode option discussed below.
Alternatively, you can open the document in a print-friendly view with the Open in print mode button. Once the page and all your charts have fully loaded, you can either use the Ctrl+P (Windows)/Cmd + P (macOS) keyboard shortcut or the print button on the upper right to save as PDF or print the page.
Be sure to set the print layout to Portrait or Landscape based on the page orientation of your document. Make sure that the page size matches your selected Notepad page size. Select the default margin options to ensure content is aligned.
Specific page settings
Notepad provides additional page settings for fine-tuning your document before exporting it. To configure page settings, select Page settings in the Notepad left panel.
Page size
The default page size for Notepad documents is Letter (8.5 x 11 inches). Use the Page size dropdown menu to select a different size.
The available page size options are:
- Letter
- Legal
- Tabloid
- A3
- A4
- A5
Page orientation
By default, documents are displayed in portrait mode. To change a document to landscape mode, select Portrait or Landscape under Page orientation.
Page headers and footers
Page headers and footers are only visible for document print or export. To enable page headers or footers, enable the Page header or Page footer option.
Page break widget
Use the page break widget to insert custom page breaks. Page breaks will only be shown when printing.
Widget printing configuration
Some widgets support print-specific configuration options. When available, access these by selecting a widget, opening the Widget Properties panel, and selecting Print Configuration.
Options include zoom, print on new page, and expanding scrollbars.
Zoom
Exporting the document may limit the horizontal space available (even in landscape mode), which is not well-suited for some visualizations. For example, wide tables which can be scrolled horizontally on screen will need to be adjusted to fit. The Zoom Level config allows you to do this by scaling down the content shown.
Print on new page
By default, widgets print on a new page if space is limited. This may not be the preferred behavior for widgets that display tables or span more than a page. In these cases, you can disable printing on a new page.
Expanding scrollbars
Use Auto-expand Table height on print to fully expand scrollbars on print to ensure vertically scrolled sections are fully expanded. This feature is currently only supported for Contour tables and Quiver object and pivot tables.
