== Introduction to Printing & Exporting ==

Aquila CRS has the ability to print, preview and export to PDF, all queries and summaries. 

Please note large queries will result in large prints or PDF's, it is useful to view the print preview before printing or exporting to PDF to ensure the print is of adequate size and orientation. 

==Printing Queries==

Run the query using the required fields, Please note for printing purposes the query should have as least output fields as possible to limit the printing resources.

Select the print icon from the Query menu bar. A drop down list will appear.
