Select and save page preferences for print setup (censhare Client)

Introduction

If you are using the Flatplan app, you might have to print the flatplan several times to the same printer with a certain format while working on the flatplan. Or, you require a PDF from your flatplan and it is always the same format that you to use. For this, you can define and select a default Page Setup profile in the censhare Client that is then always used when you are printing or creating a PDF.

You can define several Page Setup profiles in the censhare Client and then select one of profiles as default which is then automatically selected.

As the censhare Client does not modify the Print dialog of your system, you do not see here which Page Setup profile is selected.

If you use a default Page Setup profile, the Print Preview for the issue planning app is deactivated. The reason is that the Print Preview does not use Page Setup profiles of the censhare Client.
