# Printing to pdf
You must print your report to PDF for submission to Council with your other planning permit documentation.
Select the “Print Report” button on the report page. From here, use your browser print command (either Control‑P, right mouse click and select “Print”, or your browser’s print option). In the print dialog box, select “Print to PDF”. If you do not have this option available, you will need to install a PDF printer.
# Changes after submission
You may need to make changes after submitting your report to Council. If this occurs, you can continue to edit your project and generate an updated PDF report for re-submission.
