On the left side there is nothing in the text boxes and this needs to be filled in before a quotation can be printed or saved to PDF.

We would however, like to round the total amount to the nearest R10.00. We can change it on the Print a Quotation form. (Fig.5.10)

We now fill in the client's details for his quotation. (Fig.5.11)

By clicking on the Print Preview icon in the toolbar or by using the menu, a preview of our print form opens. (Fig.5.13)

We exit the print preview and on the Print a Quotation form we click on the printer icon in the toolbar or click on it in the menu. The print dialogue opens and we can then choose to print the form or save it as a PDF file which we can email to our client. (Fig.5.14) To save as a PDF file, the user needs a Print to PDF program, which can be downloaded as free-ware from several internet sites.
