How do I print a WellDatabase map?
The WellDatabase Print Tool allows you to create a PDF or Image of the current map view for printing or sharing. The Print Tool is available with Plus and Pro plans.
The Print Tool captures the map as it appears in WellDatabase, including the current map extent and visible layers. Before creating the PDF, you can customize the page size, orientation, scale, and other print settings.
Opening the Print Tool
1. Expand the Map Tools Pane at the right of the map and select the Printer icon.

2. The Print Tool along with a blue bounding box will be visible on the map.
You may need to adjust the scale or move the Print Settings dialog to see the blue map preview bounding box.

3. At this point you can pan the map and adjust the print settings in the dialog to align the preview box with the area you would like included in the map print.
4. Select Export to generate the map PDF. Once processing is complete, the PDF or image can be downloaded and opened for printing or sharing.
