Print to PDF

 

While Emailing is the dominant method of communication these days, many users still want to send a printed letter at times.   The PDF icon allows templates to be created as PDF documents and printed for individuals or groups of contacts.

 

  1. From an Individual contact simply click on the Print to PDF icon.

  2. Select a Template then click on Create PDF.

  3. Click on the “Download Pdf” link from the popup at the bottom of the screen to open the pdf file.  This window only displays for a short period of time. If you miss the your opportunity then look in the files tab of the contact to select the file and print it.

In addition to printing from individual contacts, Realvolve also has the ability to print groups of contacts from the ‘View All’ screen.

  1. Click on the View All Chevrons.
  2. Select a group of contacts.
  3. Click the Print to PDF button.

This will display a similar ‘Print Template’ window with a few additional options.

  1. Select the template to print.
  2. Option to change Top,Bottom,Left & Right Margins on Enhanced Template Editor Only.
  3. Remove the selected template and create a new template.
  4. Save a copy of the individual PDF letter to the files tab of the selected contact.
  5. Combine Primary and Secondary to prevent 2 copies printed for Husband/Wife contacts where both were selected.
  6. Creates a Preview of the first contact to see what it will look like.
  7. Create the PDF and close the popup window.
  8. Create the PDF as a new Template or update the current template if changes were made.

IMPORTANT:

If you get a popup blocker warning then you will need to change your browser settings to allow popups from your Realvolve subdomain to display the PDF document.

Once the PDF is create you can click on the Download link that displays for a short time at the bottom of the realvolve screen or you can go to SETTINGS > PRINTED DOCUMENTS to see a complete list of all PDF documents that were created from the View All or Tags View screens.


When printing a lists of contacts, the system compiles all the letters in a single PDF document which can be easily printed.  This process can take time for a large number of contacts and you may see a ‘Processing’ status until it is complete.

Once the PDF has been completed you can click on the “Download” link to access the document and print all the letters at one time.

Each time a PDF is created, a copy of the document is stored in the ‘Files’ tab of the contact and tagged with ‘Letter’.  If the PDF was created from a list of contacts, only the individual page for that contact is stored.

    Holly what a great feature thank you!!! But why is the PDF button missing for Transactions? I do have forms I need to print before Open Houses, Walk-through Inspections, and Checklists that are part of the transaction with Transaction merge fields. For example I need to print a disclosure for every sale that includes merge fields of Seller, Seller 2, and Seller Agent, which I cannot do from a Contact window.

    It appears to only work with contacts. I have been looking for the same thing....to print things that are part of a transaction...like the "Transaction Report" that has contact info for all the players and then a list of completed and to-do items. Doesn't look possible.

    This is a necessary feature!!! Along with the ability to print-out a report for each team member daily or for a selected date range of important dates & tasks/follow-up. The agents on my team are way more likely to scribble quick notes on a list about leads or transactions throughout the day and input all updates at one time. This is almost becoming a deal breaker.
