Print and download PDFs

Every document has a print view: a clean A4 page in your chosen design. You print it or save it as a PDF from there.

Open the print view#

On an issued document, Print / PDF opens the print view in a new tab.

The print view is an A4 page in your document design. What you see is what prints.

Download PDF opens your browser's print dialog. Choose Save as PDF as the destination.

The overview below the page is shown on screen only and is not part of the PDF.

Tips for a clean PDF#

• If the browser adds the date, the page title or the web address at the top and bottom of the page, switch off its headers and footers option in the print dialog.
• You do not need to change the margins in the print dialog. The page keeps its own margins even when the dialog's margins are set to none.
• Below the page there is a Document overview panel with the client, dates, totals and payments. It is shown on screen only and is not part of the PDF.

Which language it prints in#

The labels on the page (and the legal notes, such as the Article 32 note) follow the language you are using Bilify in at that moment. To print a Macedonian document, make sure the app is set to Macedonian before you open the print view. You can switch language from the language menu.

The data itself (client name, line descriptions, numbers) prints exactly as entered.

Drafts and issued documents#

• An issued document always prints with the design, logo and colour frozen at issue, and with the client and company details as they were on that day.
• A draft prints with the label Draft instead of a number and with your current design. Use it to check the layout, not to send to a client.
