This document describes the functions of the Print Manager
plug-in for Galaxie.
Overview Print Manager plug-in enables the user, when it is used as a post-processing, to combine printings and exports as PDF of the same chromatogram. Different printers, report styles and output paths can be chosen in the same configuration table.
Another function available with this plug-in is to directly export
chromatograms as PDF and to choose the path where they are going to be stored on the computer.
In Galaxie, open the Direct PDF Export tool by selecting the
icon or the corresponding option in the plug-ins menu. The
following screen is displayed:
The user can select the path, where the PDF export is going to be stored, via the button or just enter manually a path. The path can be a local path or defined on a network disk. This path if it is a valid one is saved and automatically displayed at the next connection to this screen.
Once the export path is configured, it is possible to press the
button. The report style used for the creation of this PDF export is the report style defined in the report style part of the chromatograms method. If no valid report style is defined, a warning message is displayed. That is the same when no valid output path is defined.
If the Open the PDF print report after creation box is checked, the PDF export is automatically displayed at screen.
