PDF contact sheet

If you want to have an quick reference overview of what is in a collection, it can be useful to make a PDF contact sheet which can then be printed or downloaded.

Simply choose the "Contact Sheet" option in the collection Actions list. This will bring you to a configuration page where you can choose page size, number of columns, orientation and number of thumbnails per page for your sheet, with a preview which will update according to the settings. When you are happy with the sheet, click create and you will then have the option to download or print the contact sheet.
