Print Maps

  1. In the LINK-GIS Map Viewer, click on the “Print” button or hover on the Globe in the gray box titled LINK-GIS. When hovering over it reads “Map Information.”
  2. In the drop down menu click on the “Print Map” tool. A widget will open on the right side of the screen that is titled “Print Map.”  Also, a red box with transparent green fill will appear on the main map viewer.  This red box represents the area of the map that will be printed.
  3. If needed, drag the map in any direction to move the print area.
  4. Once the print area is established, give the print map a titled then press the “Create Map” button.  This will generate the print map and may take a few moments.
  5. Once the map is done generating, click on “View Paper Map” to open the print map with Adobe Acrobat Reader.  * Please Note: the Pop-up Blocker will need to be turned off for Adobe Acrobat Reader to open and view the print map.
  6. If your computer does not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, then click on the link “(Requires free Adobe@ Acrobat Reader)” to download the free software.  Follow the install directions given by Adobe Installer.  Then follow directions 1 thru 5.  * Please Note:  Installing the Adobe Acrobat Reader will prompt you to restart your computer, thus losing the location of the print map area currently selected.  Please create a bookmark of the area so it can be found again after restarting the computer.  Go to the Bookmarks help page if assistance is required for creating bookmarks.
  7. Once the “Paper Map” print preview is open, go to the “File” drop down menu and select “Print” and follow the printer options and print the document.
  8. To minimize the widget, click on the green arrow in the top right of the widget. 
  9. To close the widget, click the ‘x’ in the top right corner.
