Configuring printing of the map
###############################

This section describes how to configure the options to print maps. Printing a map generates a
pdf file on the server which is downloaded by the client to be send to a printer.
During pdf creation map data is downloaded from various sources to be included in the pdf.

GeoNetwork needs to be able to access the external resource. Set up a webproxy in `system settings`
if your network requires a webproxy to be set up to access the internet.

Locate the file `WEB-INF/config-print/print-config.yaml`, this configuration file has a lot of options to customise the print options. Read more about the various parameters at http://www.mapfish.org/doc/print/configuration.html


The folder contains 3 template files:

- `template.pdf` and `template-landscape.pdf` which are used to generate the map viewer pdf

- `template-thumbnail.pdf` which is used to build a thumbnail in the metadata editor (see :ref:`linking-thumbnail-from-wms`).


These templates are created by exporting pdf from the included `template.odf` file in the folder.
