You preview a worksheet before printing to confirm that the settings in the Print Options page produce the output you expect. For example, you might want to check that margins, spacing, and set up options are correct before printing the worksheets.

You preview a Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the worksheet.

Discoverer generates either a sample PDF version of the worksheet, or a full PDF version of the worksheet. The sample PDF version of the worksheet contains data that represents the first 50 rows of data. The full PDF version of the worksheet contains all the rows of data.

To preview a worksheet:

  1. Display the worksheet that you want to preview.

  2. Select the Printable Page link to display the "Printable Page Options page: Page Content tab".

  3. (optional) Use the "Printable Page Options page: Page Content tab" to change the print settings, if required.

  4. Click Preview Sample to generate a sample PDF version of the worksheet and display the "PDF Sample Ready page".

  5. Click Open PDF to view sample to display the sample PDF version of the worksheet in a separate browser window.

    You can view, print or save a copy of the sample PDF file from the separate browser window.
