Printing Detailed or Large Project Plans

To print your project plan for a more detailed zoom level, you should use:

  • Gantt Chart Range - Select Complete Chart or Date Range.
  • Control Pagination - Select one of the multipage options to print over multiple pages.

For larger projects, you could also select a larger paper size combined with these options.

Printing to PDF

To fit more information on a page when printing to PDF, we recommend that you select a larger paper size.

FAQs

Question Answer
What is the best browser to use? We recommend Google Chrome for printing to paper and PDF.
Why am I seeing a blank page? Printing at a high level of detail can impact how the data is rendered occasionally resulting in a blank page being inserted. The default Control Pagination setting of Single Page prevents this. However, if you want to use one of the multipage settings, adjust the scale within your browser print settings. You can do this by opening up the advanced print settings and adjust the scale to 40%.
Why do I have so many pages? To reduce the number of pages your project is printed on, adjust the level at which you are viewing the Gantt Chart. Alternatively, you can use the default setting of Single Page, and use a larger page size.
