1. Open the Document You Want to Export

Log into HData.

Select “Editor” from the Compliance menu to open the list of documents available in your account. 

Find the desired document, select “Menu”, “Edit” to open.

2. Export the Data

With the document open, click the “Export” button at the top of the page.

Select the “iXBRL” option. 

A notification will inform you that the export is in progress:

3. Print the File 

Open the resulting download in Chrome or your preferred browser.

From the Chrome menu options in the upper-right corner next to your profile picture, select “Print.”

4. Adjust the Print Settings

Using the “Destination” drop-down menu, select the option to “Save as PDF.”

Under the section for  “More settings”: 

  • Adjust Margins to “None.”  

  • Set the scale to “Custom” then type in “87.”  

NOTE: The adjustment to margins was made because, with default settings, data tables may not display completely on the page.

Once your settings are configured, click “Save.” 

If prompted, give the file a new name and select the location you’d like to save the PDF to. 

This new file is your high-quality PDF. You can now print this file or share it digitally.
