To Create PDF Files from Bookmarked Pages

To generate PDF files from pages (images) in one or more encounters or documents in the viewer, do the following:

1. Bookmark the pages you want to export to PDF format.

2. Select the down arrow in the Export To drop-down list box on the toolbar.
3. Select PDF.

   The system displays a dialog box for entering a password.

4. Select an option:
   • If your system is configured to require a password to open the PDFs you create, either:
     • Enter a password and click OK. All PDFs created from a single request will share the same password.
     • Or click Cancel. No PDFs will be created.
   • If your configuration does not require a password, click OK. (You can enter a password if you wish.)

Results

The system creates a separate PDF for each encounter and exports the files to the network address specified by your system administrator. The generated files will reside in a folder named with your unique HPF user name. The files will be named according to the convention, facility_MRN_encounter_patient name. For example, A_00139_512_Smith, Bob.pdf.

If a file of the same name already exists in the folder, a version number (1, 2, etc.) is appended to the end of the name (for example, A_00139_512_Smith, Bob1.pdf ) so a new file cannot overwrite an existing file.

Any global documents not associated with an encounter are sent to a separate PDF that uses “Global” for the encounter component of the name.
