Question:
Is there a way to export the report file either to a flash drive or an email. I'm trying to figure out how to print it on a printer not hooked up to the laptop at the non-profit where we have this software. Is that possible? If so, how?

You can generate a report in PDF format. Then, transfer the file to a computer with a printer and print the report from the PDF.


Question:
I would like to create a PDF of my library inventory from a report but I cannot figure out how to do that. I have tried using PDF writers but they do not work. I also am not able to locate the report as a saved file. Where do saved reports go?

Answer:
When you print the report using the PDF writer, a window will prompt you to enter the name of your file. This window will also display the folder name where the file will be saved. To locate the file, you can open Windows File Explorer and navigate to the same folder.


Question:
I have another question. The laptop that the software is on is having trouble printing and I have to print out the barcode labels. Is there a way I can save it on my windows and email it to myself so that I can print from desktop?

Answer:
You can save the report as a PDF file. Later, you can send an email and attach the PDF file. This way, you can easily email the report to yourself.


Question:
My church upgraded their computer system and left the library program on the old one. I have no print capabilities now. Is it fairly easy for me to move the purchased program to my home computer? Or, is there a way to move the library list of books onto a thumb drive to print spine labels at home?

Answer:
There are a few ways to print spine labels at home. You can print to a PDF file on the church computer, transfer it to your home computer, and then print from there. Alternatively, install the software on your home computer and use the backup/restore feature to transfer data and print. Another option is to copy the installation folder to a flash drive and restore it on your home computer. backup/restore library


Question:
I've been using your small library pro on the trial version for a few weeks and the only problem I'm having is that I don't have a very efficient way to print off the labels on my own printer. I have found no good way to export those barcodes except by tricking the program into thinking that I want to send them by fax. Even then it is in a strange file format which doesn't print out the barcodes in the right size. Is there any way to export a PDF with barcodes to print at a different location? WIthout using barcode scanner this program will not be any better than the one I already have because it won't save me any time with check-in and check-out transactions.

Answer:
You can save reports or labels as a PDF document. To do this, open the print report/labels window, click on "Select Printer", and choose "PDF Writer". Next, enter a name for the file and save it to your hard drive. Before printing labels from the PDF viewer, make sure to review the page margins in the page settings.
