## 2.5. Saving and Printing Your Diagram

Dia provides the normal save and print options, located on the File menu. Selecting the File → Page Setup allows you to set the paper size, orientation, and print margins. This also allows you to choose whether to print the diagram to scale (entered in percent) or to fit the diagram to a specific size (in centimeters).

Dia supports exporting to numerous formats for excellent web publishing. Some of them include:

- Computer Graphics Metafile (.cgm)
- Encapsulated Postscript (.eps)
- Portable Document Format (.pdf)
- Portable Network Graphics (.png)
- Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)

See Loading and Saving Diagrams for more information.

On some Windows systems, Dia diagrams do not print correctly. This problem can be worked around by exporting the diagram -- for example to Portable Networks Graphics (.png) format -- and then printing the exported .png file.
