Printing an Axiom form

There are two ways that you can print an Axiom form. You can use the native print functionality of your browser to print the form, or you can generate a PDF copy of the form and then print the PDF.

Generating a PDF for printing

If an Axiom form has been configured to support generating a PDF, then a PDF icon displays in the right side of the Task BarThe gray bar that displays across the top of browser-based Axiom files, as well as various feature pages of the Web Client. The Task Bar provides access to various tasks that are specific to the current area, page, or document.. You can click this icon to generate a PDF of the form.

Example Axiom form with PDF icon

Once the PDF has been generated for the form, it opens in your browser. The specific printing procedures and features depend on the browser being used and your PDF reader.

When using the PDF option, the form can be specially configured for printing. For example, certain components may be shown or hidden in the print copy, and formatted grids can be automatically extended to show all rows. For more information, see Configuring an Axiom form for printing to PDF.

Additionally, some forms may be designed so that you can generate a PDF using a button within the form. This button may be named something like "Create PDF" or it may use the same or similar PDF icon.

If the task bar icon is not available, and the form does not contain a PDF button, then you can use the Tools menu to generate a PDF of the form. Keep in mind that the absence of the other PDF options may mean that the form has not been optimized for PDF generation.

Using browser print functionality

If you print from the browser, then the specific printing procedure and features depend on the browser that you are currently using. However, keep in mind the following tips:

If the Axiom form is opened as a web tab in the Excel Client or the Windows Client, you must open it within a browser in order to gain access to the browser print functionality. You can right-click the file tab and then click Open in browser.
