This menu can be used to save an image containing one or more graphs to either a PDF or Postscript file.
All PDF and Postscript files are generated using raster images so that the contents of the screen is exactly reproduced.

| Current Page | The current T/HIS page will be saved. This option will only be available if T/HIS contains multiple graphs on more than one page (see Page Layouts). |
| Only Page (n) | A single image containing the selected page will be generated. This option will only be available if T/HIS contains multiple graphs on more than one page (see Page Layouts). |

All images can be output in either Postscript or PDF file format.
By default PDF and Postscript files are not labeled and have no figure number, but you may add either or both of these. They are always put at the bottom of each page, along the short edge, regardless of the orientation used for plots.
All images can be output at either the screen resolution or at a resolution of either 2 or 4 times the screen resolution.
All images can be output in either landscape or portrait format.
By default all images are output using a fixed aspect ratio. This option can be used to stretch each image to fit the available space on the page. Different scaling factors will be applied to the horizontal and vertical directions and the image will be distorted.
The paper size can be set to be either A4 (210 x 296mm), A3 (296 x 420mm) or US (letter - 216 x 279mm). The default size is A4.
Multiple plots on a page are also available. In landscape format there is a choice of 1, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 plots to a page. In portrait format there is a choice of 1, 1x2, 2x3 and 2x4 plots on a page. By default there is a single plot on a page.
