Reviewers can preview what a marked-up plan set will look like before creating the deliverable for the applicant by using the Printer Preview option in the Review page Header.

The preview process works just like the printer process to create deliverables, meaning it:

• Takes the latest version of each PDF page

• Packages all pages together into a single complete PDF, based on the page order set in the SHEET NUMBERS tab

• Adds all selected markups to the PDF (based on your choices, see below)

Using Printer Preview ('Printer')

From the Review page Header, click the Printer Preview button ( ) to create a PDF preview of the current marked-up document.

To generate a preview:

1. Click the Printer Preview button on the Header.

2. In the pop-up window (“Print to PDF Preview”), review which markups are checked by default.

   1. By default, Sketches, Stamps, Comments (open) are selected, as is the option to Save (Markups) Before Printing the preview file.

   2. Check any additional boxes for markups which you want to include in the preview file (this will not add them to the deliverable).

   3. Uncheck any boxes for markups which you do not want to include in the preview.

3. Click Print at the bottom of the window to create the preview.

   1. Use the scrollbar to view all the pages in the pdf.

4. If you would like to download the file to your desktop (for reference), click DOWNLOAD.

5. To update the preview content, make changes to your selections at the top then click the RE-PRINT button. A new preview is created based on your new selections.

6. If you are done with the preview, click the X at the top right or click CANCEL to close the window and return to the plans.
