Photo reports allow you to select multiple photos from your projects and export them in a PDF document. You can export a photo report from the Photos tab or directly from a sheet that has photo markups associated to it. The features are available on all platforms and have file limits noted. If you would like to export all photos, please take a look at the As-Built option. Please note: the size of a photo report cannot be altered and each page will be a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet size.
