Print files

The Print option allows you to print hard copies of the selected files or specific code fragments and save them as PDF documents.

In the main menu, go to File | Print.
In the dialog that opens, select what you want to print:
- File <name>: print the file, which is currently selected in the Explorer tool window or opened in the editor.
- Selected text: print the code selected in the editor.
- All files in directory: print all files in the directory that is selected in the Explorer tool window. Additionally, you can enable the Include subdirectories option to print files located in subdirectories.
If necessary, configure options on the Settings, Header and Footer, and Advanced tabs.
Click Print.
You will see the system Print dialog where you can select the printer you want to use.
From this dialog, you can save the selected code as a PDF file.
