Print optimisation and PDF viewer
Reports open in a built-in PDF viewer with zoom, search, print and download — optimised for sharp, legible physical print with margins for notes.
Every report in Arcili — valuations, project reports, company exports and site plans — opens in a built-in PDF viewer, so you can zoom, search, print and download without leaving the app. The PDFs are built to look as sharp on screen as on paper, with margins that leave room for handwritten notes.
1Opening the PDF viewer
When you generate a report — for example from Boligvurdering, Projektvurdering or a site plan — the result opens in the built-in viewer. While the report is being built, you see a brief loading state:
Generating PDF …
Heavy reports with many pages or 3D imagery can take a few seconds to load.
Once the view is ready, the viewer has its own toolbar at the top with zoom, page navigation, search, print and download.
The report preview has a public view, so a shared link can be opened without the recipient needing to log in. Read more under Share a project via link.
2Zoom, search and navigate
Use the toolbar in the viewer to find your way around long reports:
- Zoom — enlarge details such as key figures, comparable transactions or drawing fields.
- Search — find a word, an address or a cadastral number directly in the text.
- Pages — jump between pages in multi-page project and company reports.
3Print directly
Print from the toolbar's Print button, or use the keyboard shortcut ⌘+P (Mac) / Ctrl+P (Windows).
The reports are optimised for physical print:
- Paper size is selected automatically based on report type — valuation and company reports are A4, while site plans and elevation drawings are delivered in technical paper sizes from A4 to A0.
- Type sizes stay legible in physical print, and dense tables are grouped into zones so nothing gets cramped.
- Margins leave room for handwritten comments when you review a report on paper.
Choose "Fit to page" in the print dialog so Arcili's built-in margins are preserved. If you scale up instead, content can get clipped at the edge.
4Download and share
Download the PDF to your machine via the toolbar's Download button. On site plans and elevation templates you also find a dedicated Download PDF button in the page header.
- Downloaded files land in your browser's download folder.
- Generated exports are also collected in the download centre, where you can fetch them again later — see Monitor downloads in the download centre.
5Site plans: technical paper sizes
Site plans and elevation templates use real technical frames. You can choose format and orientation before downloading:
Format — A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 Orientation — Landscape Portrait
The frames include cut and fold marks, so larger sheets can be folded neatly down to A4 booklet format. Read more under Site plan and elevation templates (paper layout).
If the PDF viewer does not load, or the print looks wrong, try downloading the file and opening it locally. See PDF report looks wrong for troubleshooting.
