Document Band

The Layout Editor’s Document band contains functions which help prepare the layout for presentation in printed form. From here the user can add headers and or footers to the layout as well as print it or save it as an image. This band also gives the user the option to automatically scale and rearrange images so that they fit neatly on individual pages.

Export Image
