Printable Page Options page: Content tab

Use this page to choose the content options to use for generating a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the current worksheet.

You can also use this page to preview a preview PDF version (that is, the first 50 rows of data) or to generate a printable PDF version of the entire worksheet. Having created a PDF version, Discoverer displays either the "PDF Ready page" or the "PDF Sample Ready page" from where you can view, save or print the PDF file.

• Print all rows and columns

  Use this option to print all data (including data that is currently not displayed).

• Print only the rows and columns that are displayed in the crosstab or table

  Use this option to print only the current window of data (for example, if Discoverer Viewer is currently displaying rows 50-75 and columns 10-15, then only these rows and columns are printed).

Use the following settings to specify general options that apply to the whole worksheet.

• Print Header

  Use this check box to specify whether to print the header.

• Print Footer

  Use this check box to specify whether to print the footer.

Table/Crosstab Options

Use these options to specify table or crosstab settings that apply to the whole worksheet.

• Print Table/Crosstab

  Use this check box to specify whether to print the table or crosstab.

• Repeat header cells on every page

  Use this check box to specify whether to print repeats of header cells after each page break.

Graph Options

Use these options to specify graph settings that apply to the worksheet. Discoverer only displays these options if there is a graph.

• Print graph

  Use this check box to specify whether to print the graph.

• Print gradients

  Select this check box to specify whether to print the graph with gradients. A gradient is a variation in color tone that can occur across any area in a worksheet.

  Hint: Only use this setting if the printer quality is good. If the printer quality is good, gradients are more likely to be clearly visible on paper.

  Clear this check box to not print the graph with gradients.

Graph size

If you specify that you want to print the graph, specify the graph size by selecting one of the following controls.

• Actual size

  Use this option to print the graph with the height and width that is currently specified in Discoverer Viewer.

• Specified size

  Use this option to print the graph with a height and width that you specify.

• Width

  Use this field to change the width of the graph.

• Height

  Use this field to change the height of the graph.

Note: The default unit of measure (for example, centimeters, inches) used to print graphs, is configured by the Discoverer manager (for more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer).

Preview sample

Use this button to generate a preview PDF file (based on the first 50 rows of data in the worksheet). You can display the preview PDF file to confirm that the settings you specify in this page produce the output you expect. Having created the preview PDF file, Discoverer displays the "PDF Sample Ready page" from where you can view, save or print the file.

Printable PDF

Use this button to generate the PDF file. Having created the PDF file, Discoverer displays the "PDF Ready page" from where you can view, save or print the file.

Note: Under certain rare circumstances, printing a worksheet might require additional memory when there are many columns, even if there is a small number of rows. To work around this issue, either rotate the column axis with the row axis and try to print again, or increase the memory for the OC4J_BI_Forms JVM process, as described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer.
