[[optimize-pdf-for-printing]]
=== Optimize PDF for printing
This will create a print friendly PDF with multiple A4 portrait pages, with 2 visualizations per page. This is the layout mode that was always used prior to Kibana 6.1, and will create PDFs similar to the following:

[[preserve-existing-layout-in-pdf]]
=== Preserve existing layout in PDF
This will create a PDF preserving the existing layout and size of the Visualization or Dashboard, and will create PDFs similar to the following:
--
[role="screenshot"]
image:reporting/images/preserve-layout.png["Preserve existing layout in PDF",link="preserve-layout.png"]

When creating a PNG or a PDF report of a visualization, the "Optimize for printing" option will automatically be used.
