Step by step

- In the print window, pick your printer, or choose Save as PDF as the destination.

Questions and fixes
How do I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
In the print window, change the printer (often called “Destination”) to Save as PDF or Microsoft Print to PDF, then press Save. On an iPhone or iPad, use Print, then pinch out on the preview and share it as a PDF.
The printout is cut off or has the wrong margins
In the print window, set the scale to “Default” or “Fit to page”, keep margins on “Default”, and check the paper size (A4 in the UK, Letter in the US). Turning on “Background graphics” keeps coloured boxes and shading.
The print window doesn’t open, or nothing happens when I press Print
Some browsers block the print window inside apps (for example, a link opened from an email or social media app). Open the page in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox and try again. On a phone, use the browser’s Share menu and then Print.
There is an extra line at the bottom of my printout
Printouts end with a small “Made with Classfern” line. You can switch it off on the cookies and storage page.
