How to Print to PDF using your browser
You can easily save a copy of your application, job, or on-screen view as a PDF using your browser’s built-in Print to PDF feature. This is useful if you want to share the details with others, save a record for your own files, or print a physical copy.
This method works across most modern browsers (including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari) and operating systems (Windows 10 & 11, MacOS, Linux etc) – no extra software needed.
Steps to Print to PDF
- Open the page you want to save
Navigate to the section of the portal (e.g. completed application, submitted job) that you want to save or print.
- Open the print menu
Press Ctrl + P (or Cmd + P on Mac), or right-click anywhere on the page and choose Print.
- Select ‘Microsoft Print to PDF’ or ‘Save as PDF’
In the Printer dropdown, choose Microsoft Print to PDF (Windows) or Save as PDF (Chrome, Edge, or Mac).
- Adjust the scaling (important!)
To ensure all information fits neatly on the page:- Click More settings or Layout options
- Adjust the Scale setting (e.g. try 75%, 65%, or 50%)
This helps avoid content being cut off or spilling onto extra pages unnecessarily.
- Click ‘Print’ and save the file
Choose where to save the file. You can now send it via email, store it in your files, or print it later.
Tips
- If content is wide, consider switching to Landscape mode, this can help accommodate wider content that may not fit well in the default Portrait mode.
- Use the Preview window to check before saving, this allows you to see how the PDF will look before you save it, helping to avoid any issues.
- If your content is being cut off or doesn't fit well on the page, adjusting the scale can help. Try a few different settings to see what works best.
