# Printing and exports

What the screen can actually do today to get a schedule out of PalmaPlan: print it, or turn it into a PDF through the browser's own printing. Exchange formats (v23, CSV, XLSX, ICS) and image rendering (SVG, PNG) exist, but **not yet as a button on this screen** — stated here plainly, without dressing it up.

## Setting up the page

**Settings › Printing**:

- **PAGE** — **Format** (A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, letter, legal, ledger), **Orientation** (Landscape / Portrait), **Fit to page**.
- **CONTENT** — a **From** / **to** range (with no range, the whole schedule's period), and checkboxes **Legend**, **Comments as an appendix**, **Critical path in red**, **Reference shadows**.
- an **Open the printable preview** button.

The tab's own text says it: "The printable preview (Ctrl+P, or 'Print' in the bar) follows these settings; the PDF is the browser's own."

## Printing

The ribbon's **Print** button (or **Ctrl+P**, or **Printable preview** from Settings) opens a dedicated page (`/s/<id>/print`): the whole schedule rendered as a table and a timeline, with the legend, at the chosen format and range — a line above recalls the setting in force ("A4 landscape · from 2026-10-01 to 2027-01-13 · grain 'week'"). A single button, **Print**, launches the browser's own print dialog — **it's the browser that offers "Save as PDF"**, depending on the system; PalmaPlan doesn't generate a PDF file itself from this screen.

## What the screen doesn't do (yet)

Checked by looking, across the whole application, for an "Export" or "Download" button next to a schedule: **there isn't one**. What the v23 format can say, what a CSV, XLSX or ICS file would contain, what an SVG or PNG render would look like — all of that exists, but only through the `export_schedule` and `render_schedule` tools, reserved for an agent connected over MCP (see the agent guide). A person who wants a v23, CSV, XLSX or ICS file of their schedule has to go through an agent (Claude Code, for instance) to ask for it today — this screen doesn't offer that gesture itself.

Likewise, **importing** a schedule from one of these formats (`import_schedule`) has no button in *[My schedules](/docs/en/guides/mes-plannings/)*: it's an agent gesture, not yet a screen gesture.

## What happens when you get it wrong

- **A print setting that doesn't fit** (wrong range, wrong format): change it in Settings › Printing then reopen **Printable preview** — nothing is printed until the browser's own dialog has been confirmed.
- **You're looking for an export button and can't find one**: that's not something you missed — see the section above.

## What this page doesn't cover

- **The legend and critical path you can include when printing**: see *[The legend and the filter](/docs/en/guides/legende-et-filtre/)*.
- **Exchange formats and image rendering, on the agent side**: see the agent guide (`export_schedule`, `import_schedule`, `render_schedule`).
