Calc Builder 6: print and PDF preferences

The Print Preferences screen controls the printable / PDF version of the result that visitors can download (when the PDF button is enabled on the calculator Preferences).

Print Preferences

What you can set

  • HTML before / after the result in the PDF — a header with your logo, a footer with terms, contact details.
  • Whether to include the input form and/or the result in the document.
  • A separate pre/post HTML for the PDF vs. the on-screen print, so the document can be branded differently.
  • The folder where generated PDFs are stored (default /media/com_calcbuilder).

All the usual ##variable## placeholders work here too, so the PDF can restate the visitor’s inputs and every computed figure.
