    We recommend Printing to PDF to verify if you like the positioning of the data fields, this will prevent using up tags/cards and using the printing ribbon. 

    The printer can be changed in the Plugin Manager. Plugin Manager Icon can be found in Show Hidden Icons in task bar.

    Select the Settings Tab, then use the Select Printer dropdown to select Print to PDF

    Save the Settings.
