# Printing a Directory

The **Printed Directory** is a special report which enables you to print a directory of either all the active (**not archived**) people, or a specified group of people.

It's a simple process so take a look at the step by step instructions below!

#### To generate a printed directory

1. On the main **Navigation Menu** select **Reports**.
2. Under **Special reports** select **Printed Directory**. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-D8VYFKUM.png)
3. In the **Generate for** drop-down menu either select **Whole Directory** or the group that the Directory relates to.
4. Check the rest of the criteria on the form ensuring it is set correctly for your printout.
5. Choose from one of the Page Layout formats.

Note the options that include a photo - this has to be a an Organisation or Household photo - personal photos can't be selected for printing.

If a photo is required, set the household or organisation photo to be the same as the personal photo (if set).

For information on photos, see [Adding a Photo](/v1/docs/photos)

1. Select either:
  1. **Generate** to see the list on the screen so that you can check the layout before printing.
  2. **Generate as PDF** to produce the directory as a PDF format.
  3. **Generate as PDF** to produce the directory as a text CSV file (photos aren't included).
