Q: Why can't I print from Mapclick?
A: This could be due to a pop-up blocker, hold down CTRL as you click on the print option you have decided on, if the window with the .pdf file still does not appear, first try turning off all pop-up blockers temporarily, or ask your computer technician for help. Another likely cause is not having Adobe Reader installed. Please confirm it is installed, if it is not, proceed to www.adobe.com to download a free copy. You can also try to print it as a html file, which may allow you to print without the need for having Adobe.
