FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the best browser to use? | We recommend Google Chrome for printing to paper and PDF. |
| Why am I seeing a blank page? | Printing at a high level of detail can impact how the data is rendered occasionally resulting in a blank page being inserted. The default Control Pagination setting of Single Page prevents this. However, if you want to use one of the multipage settings, adjust the scale within your browser print settings. You can do this by opening up the advanced print settings and adjust the scale to 40%. |
| Why do I have so many pages? | To reduce the number of pages your project is printed on, adjust the level at which you are viewing the Gantt Chart. Alternatively, you can use the default setting of Single Page, and use a larger page size. |
