Making a PDF / Printing Scripts

A PDF or printed copy of your script can be useful for several reasons:

• To print physical copies for your presenters to read at a lectern
• To call your show if your venue does not have a reliable internet connection
• To reference older copies of your script in the event that changes are made

To print a copy of the script or run of show, select the desired session. When you arrive at the Session Dashboard the defaulted layout is Script View, but you can switch to the Run of Show layout to print by hovering over the Layout view. Hover over the View dropdown and to determine if you want the A/V cues to be included or private notes to be shown/hidden.

Once you have determined the layout and view you want to print, select Print from the menu bar.

This will open your browser’s print dialog, where you can either print directly to a printer, or choose to save your script as a PDF document.

Layout Considerations

These PDFs are designed to print well across a variety of scripts. For example, it will try its best to keep script sections together and avoid page breaks within a section, so that speakers reading from a printed script don't have awkward page breaks right in the middle of a sentence.

In addition, each block is printed after a fresh page break, which will allow your team to easily print and replace just a specific block if there are script updates that need to be inserted, without needing to re-print the entire script.

Interactive Session Agenda

The session agenda included in the first few pages of the PDF is interactive in most PDF clients. This means that you can click block names to scroll directly to that block once saved onto your device.

Conversely, you can click any block name to quickly return to the agenda. This is helpful for quickly jumping around in your script while working in the PDF.
