Printing topics and creating PDFs

The Eclipse Help System (EHS) provided with your Eclipse environment allows for printing a section of topics at the same time. With a local PDF distiller, you can also print your topics directly to a PDF file format.
Note: To print topics to a PDF file format, you must have a PDF distiller that you can point to from the print preferences dialog. You can download a free version from the internet, or your company may have one available for your use.

To print a group of topics for hard copy or PDF

  1. In the Contents pane, select the topic or parent topic to the group of topics you want to print, and click the EHS print button print button from the Contents pane toolbar.
  2. From the menu that drops down, select Print selected topic or Print selected topic and all subtopics. A new browser window along with the browser printing preferences dialog will open allowing you to print the topics.
  3. OPTIONAL: To create a PDF from your selected topics, specify your PDF distiller as the selected printer.
