How to print a SAS discussion with colour in from our forum

[Phil_NZ]

Hi SAS Users,

It is very convenient for us to print the discussion in the forum, especially for the one who is mainly read things from papers. However, I cannot find any way to print the discussion in our forum. 

The post has an option called printer friendly page as below, but when click on this button, you will be lead to a page with friendlier format, but not the whole file pdf or else to print it out in one click

I also try Ctr+P, however, the file popping up is "black and white" colour.

For example, I want to print this discussion, I mean, all the discussion on this topic at one time)

Thanks in advance and warmest regards!

I'm using Chrom browser with Windows 10.

When doing a right click it enables to "save as PDF" file.

The file will keep the colors. Try it.

Hi @Shmuel 

Thank you for your reply, I also use win10 with Google chrome as my explore. However, when I right-click, there is no option called "save as pdf"

Or when I click to the print option, it pops up like below, I mean, the code is not coloured

Many thanks and cheers,

Small correction: Write click ==> Print ==> Save as PDF

Hi @Shmuel 

When I right click => print, it pops up like that

there is no place for me to save as pdf.

I tried to right click on the pdf like that, but the save as option is blurred

[Phil_NZ]

Even I saved as pdf, the code has still not yet been coloured

[Shmuel]

On PRINT pop up - did you choose destination = 'save as pdf'?

I have saved this discussion and attached it here.

Hi Shmuel, thank you for your help, but if looking at the pdf file, we can see that they will not colour the code (the code will be shown as black and white), 

I also attached the pdf file by your way of doing from another discussion which has the code inside

Alternative way, to create a colored printable file is by using the "Snipping Tool" utility to copy rectangles of shown code and paste it into MS-word document.

@Shmuel !

Yay, currently I am using this tool, just wondering if there is any another way to do so... because using snipping tool not really convinient.

I believe it is programmable, but those are the only readily available tools.
