Hi,
Our Knack database is embedded into our website.
Members submit a form which generates an invoice, however it opens as a pop-up rather than a new window. When printing, this causes it to print the whole page (including our website header and footer) and makes quite a messy document for printing.
How can I change this so the invoice opens into a new window as a PDF for a better user-experience when printing?
Thanks!
Hi Megan - I think the “pop-up” experience you’re referring to is our “Display as a Modal” option within Page Settings… Here is how you can change it in the existing app-builder experience (“Classic”) and our newer “Next-Gen” experience.

Hi John,
Thanks for your response. I have just tried changing that and it actually makes the problem worse.
We have the “Show a link to print this page” ticked, however it prints in such a mess that the invoice is useless when printed/saved as a PDF.
I want to be able to export/generate a clean PDF that can be downloaded and printed, without the header and footer of our website.
Hi @Megan2,
The native print method doesn’t always have a nice output unfortunately, as it’s only as good as what the browser can print.
I personally have achieved a fairly clean format with a little bit of CSS and JS.
If you want to be able to export your data into a nice clean invoice PDF template, my good friend @CarlHolmes has a post about this here: How to create Multi-line PDF’s free with Make
