PDF output is available whilst viewing a planner on both desktop and mobile.
It is also available as a preview from the Creator, and when viewing a previewed planner.
The pages use A4 sizing.
Desktop
Please look in the top right corner of the page. You will see a button saying Print Timetable.
Below you'll find section called Print Options, which you can collapse by clicking the title.
The Print Options section contains a visual demonstration that reflects your printing choices.
Mobile
Press the menu button, on the right side of the bottom navigation bar.
On the sheet that pops up you will see an option for Print, and to the right Options.
Tapping on Options will open another sheet with same options and visualisation as the desktop site.
From the Creator
Open the Options window, from the button in the top left.
At the bottom of the dialog that appears, you'll see a row of Preview related options.
Click the Style input, and select PDF.
When you click on the Preview planner button now, it'll open a PDF.
This also applies to the Preview button at the bottom of the left side bar.
You can view also view the PDF in full colour mode by changing the time granularity input from 15 Minutes to 5 Minutes.
This is just a little trick, and me being lazy while adding the full colour feature.
