How do I print my plan?
Select "Print" from the menu, choose the size you would like and select any print options such as title/subtitle etc. When you click "Create and Open PDF" a PDF file will be downloaded to your PC which you can then print.
If you are not able to open the PDF file, you may need to install the free Adobe Reader on your PC/Mac. This is available from the Adobe Website.
If you're using an iPad or iPhone, you should install the free Adobe Reader app from the AppStore.
My plan prints too small / How do I increase the font size?
When your plan is printed, it is scaled to 'best fit' the paper size you select. Keeping empty/blank space on your plan to a minimum ensures you get the best results.
Move tables closer together if you can and drag the edges of the plan in. The less empty space there is, the better it'll scale.
How do I add a title or subtitle?
There are options in the "Print" menu for a title and subtitle. These are added to your plan when you create the PDF ready for printing.
What paper size can I print out on?
You can print to A4, A3, A2, A1 and Letter. The plan will automatically orientate itself to landscape or portrait, depending on the shape of your plan.
How do I print larger than A4 or Letter?
You can either take the PDF generated by TopTablePlanner to a local printer, or use an online print service like fileprint.org.
See our guide to large format printing for more help.
How do I print place cards?
Select "Print" from the menu and then choose "Place Cards". You can choose to print on plain card with markers to help you cut them out or use compatible pre-cut, pre-scored printable placecard sheets. Please note, we have only setup the PDF to use these printable cards and other brands may not line up correctly.
When you click "Create", a PDF will be generated containing the names of everyone seated on your plan that you can then print to create your place cards.
In the "Print" menu in Adobe Reader, ensure Page Scaling is set to "None" or the template may not line up properly.
We always recommend you print on plain paper first to make sure what you are printing is correct.
How do I print escort cards?
