===== Print to PDF from PC CADDIE =====

HINT: Printing to PDF from Pcc is possible even __without__ installing a PDF printer. Make a print preview of your document: 

{{:en:sonstigefunktion:pdfdruck:bildschirm.png|}}

Press the button **//Save//** (F7) from the top of the print preview window.

{{:en:sonstigefunktion:pdfdruck:speichern_als_pdf.png|}}


The following dialog opens:

{{:en:sonstigefunktion:pdfdruck:pdf_speichern_senden.png?500|}}

Here you can name the pdf file. Simply enter a name in the line **PDF name**. In addition, if you add an e-mail address in the next line **... and send to the following e-mail address** and click on **__S__end**, the pdf file will be e-mailed directly from PCC.


Furthermore you have the possibility to save the file **Directly in the CRM** or **Select a folder**. If you have selected the second option, the following window opens.


The PDF document can be saved directly with the same title.

;-) You can now **//Open PDF,//** **//Send PDF as email//** or **//Close//** the dialog.



===== Print to PDF from any program =====

Pcc offers you the possibility to install a PDF printer, free of charge. This is a local installation, i.e. the printer must be locally installed on each PC. Of course, the installation can be done only by a Windows user with installation rights.

==== Installation ====

Go to **//Setup/Macros//** in the main menu and enter the macro "pdf":
