# Exporting & Printing on Catalina OS

## What to do if you print or export to PDF and it displays symbols or gibberish.

If your Comprehensive Person Report printed out in weird symbols or gibberish, it is usually because you are using Catalina OS on a MAC.  AppleCare said the only way to get it to print correctly is to get OUT of Chrome and move INTO Safari. It should work correctly immediately.
