Awesome Table can be used to create beautiful, printable documents generated from a simple tabular data. It is especially useful within organizations that need to export news, workflows or reports.
Export your view
In the Awesome Table view editor, simply check the More Actions menu (1) and select the print icon (2).
info If your view has no filters and no search bar, you need to check "Allow viewers to download data as CSV" in the Advanced Parameters to display the More Actions menu and export your view.
Feature presentation
This feature allows users to export the current data displayed by Awesome Table in a document.
You can even manage settings like:
- Size: Choose the type and the size of paper you want to print
- Layout: Choose to save the document as Portrait or Landscape
- Filters: Choose if you want to display your filters
Then, you just have to apply the same settings to further customize the document for export:
- Destination: Choose how to export the document (PDF, Print, save in Drive...)
- Pages: Choose what pages you want to print
- Layout: Choose to save the document as Portrait or Landscape
(it must be the same setting you chose for your Awesome Table view above) - Size: Choose the type and the size of paper you want to print
(it must be the same setting you chose for your Awesome Table view above)
warning It is important to have exactly the same print settings in your Awesome Table view and your web browser, otherwise your export will not have the same rendering.

I cant see the button "Show Print button"
Hello Carlos,
The "print button" is now on the top right view (see the screenshots). We will update this article as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Thomas
Is it possible to change the Paper size?
Hi Elm,
You can choose the layout and the size of your paper (see above at "Features Presentation").

The print button only shows up on some of my documents. Is there something I need to do to get it to show up on all of them? The three dots don't even show up on some documents. Thanks!
Hi Jianna,
If you have no filters and no search bar in your Awesome Table view, you need to "Allow viewers to download data CSV" in your advanced parameters (see the screenshot).

Worked perfectly! Thanks so much!!
My table view have more than 1 page but i can't print all at the same time, print preview shows me only one page per time. Is it possible to print all pages?
Hi Dpo01 Dos,
It is not possible to print all pages in same time. You can only print and export your view in PDF page by page. If you want to print all pages of your Awesome Table view, you need to increase your items limits on your view.

Hi! Very new to Google Forms and Awesome Table, but I am having problems printing. I'm seeing my data and charts on screen, but when I select Print, I get a message saying "No Data to Display". What I am missing?
Thanks

I get a "No Data to display" legend when trying to print
Hi Matt and Oscar Serrano,
Would it be possible for you to share your Awesome Table view and your spreadsheet at "[email protected]"?
Make sure you give us access to your spreadsheet and if you have sensitive data, you can make a copy with similar data.

In Chrome clicking the Print item does nothing. In Edge I get the "No Data to display" notification.
Hi Jukka Huttunen,
Thomas
When printing and saving to Google Drive the generated PDF goes to the root because we can't select a folder.
Its a limitation of Google or can we bypass that?
I set up Awesome Table on Classic Google Sites, but i don't want the ‘Get filtered URL’ option available, on the menu, to the users of the site.
How do i do?
Hi José Machado,
We are truly sorry for the delay of the response.
Indeed it's a limitation from Google and it is not possible to choose the folder you want when you need to save your Awesome Table view in your Drive.
Concerning "Get Filtered URL" option, it is not yet possible to remove this option. However you can overwrite it with CSS but it requires knowledge in code. I don't recommend this because if we need to make some changes in the code of Awesome Table, it could affect your view.
Kind regards,
Thomas
