  • Image (PNG): Creates an image file of type png. This format is recommended for media presentations such as Microsoft PowerPoint.

  • Separated Components (ZIP): Creates a compressed file (ZIP) that contains an image file of the map and a separate image file of the legend, allowing you full control of the layout of the data in your reports or presentations.

  2. The optional Crop Map View to Fit Print Page trims the current map view to optimize the usage of the space available on the page.
