David (soundhealth) had mentioned that he can print everything in one pdf if he does "print preview" and chooses where to print something (to paper or to fax) instead of "print". Do you know what he is referring to?

Jocelyn, I can't speak for David, but if you use the Print Entire Chart button, you have two choices. You can either simply print which means all of the things checked will print along with imported items minus the HTMLs if I recall. Or you can choose Print Preview. This brings up all of the individual sections such as Lab Summary, EHR Summary, Progress Notes, etc. If you check off Imported Items it brings all of these up in INDIVIDUAL documents. If you have 5 PDFs, it will open 5 PDFs. Therefore, I see no way to convert these to one file.
I could not follow David's post completely. In one sense, it seemed he was saying you can print to one PDF from the Print Entire Chart. The ONLY way I know to combine more than one file is with Adobe for PDFs or some other 3rd party program. There are other programs which can combine more than one type.
Personally, I would never use Print Entire Chart. It is rather simple. Get a free PDF print driver such as Win2PDF and print all of your progress notes from the Past Encounters under Progress Notes Only, then go to your Imported Items folder for that patient and "select all" then combine them with one of the many free merge programs. Then merge both of them.
