NTS Support

This can be accomplished through a PDF Printer. This is a useful program that will allow you to save electronic copies of any document that you can print from NTS (or any other program). It will save what is being printed as a PDF document. Since you are creating a PDF document, you can easily attach the document to an email.

Windows 10/11

Windows 10/11 has a built in PDF printer. To use it:

1. Open any report in NTS and then click the Print button.
   
2. Choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" from the select printer drop down box.
3. Click Print on the printer dialog box.
4. A new dialog box will appear asking you where to save the save file. Choose a location, type in a file name in the name box and click Save.

All Windows versions including 10

There are other free PDF Printer apps available. We recommend "PDF Creator". This is a free program that can be used on of any version of NTS. This app creates much smaller files than the Microsoft printer.

First, you will need to download the installation for PDF Creator. Follow the instructions on the web site to download the file. This software is provided by pdfforge and not NTS or Osprey Enterprises. NTS, Osprey Enterprises nor David Watson make any guarantees that this software will perform as advertised.
