The Printing (Legacy) tool enables users to generate high quality print output in various file formats, layout page sizes and resolutions. Support for dynamic text fields and simple reporting of attribute data of selected objects is included.

•Support for various different file formats (support for web optimized PDF, i.e. small PDF documents that are generated quickly and are easy to handle)

•Print dynamic function fields (predefined fields and custom fields)

•Rotated plots

•Print output in a different projection than the WebOffice 10.9 R4 project

•Plots with tabular data of objects (simple reporting)

•Plots with tabular data of objects including detail map for each object

•Plots with data fields – field position and layout can be configured however you want

•Create print series - specify an overall plot extent interactively in the map or create a series from a selection

Printing tool properties

 

There are two typical configuration scenarios for the printing (Legacy) tool:

•quick and easy: no print templates are configured at all. WebOffice 10.9 R4 dynamically reads all print templates (.layout files) stored in the template path and provides them as available print templates in the WebOffice 10.9 R4 clients printing (Legacy) tool form.

•advanced: configure specific print templates for your WebOffice 10.9 R4 project. In this case only these configured print templates will be available in the WebOffice 10.9 R4 project for printing. Use this option if you want to customize print template settings or configure specific dynamic text fields, print file output formats etc.

 

icon_comment

In case you are using for example the ArcGIS Web Adaptor and there are some services to be used in WebOffice 10.9 R4, it is recommended to configure the ArcGIS Server Output Service also via ArcGIS Web Adaptor. Otherwise, the print quality may be reduced. Find more details about the configuration of the output service in chapter ArcGIS Server Output Service.
