8 Documenting audit trail entries
At this point, it is worth remembering that there are two types of audit trail
entries:
- audit trail entries for the devices (e.g. paperless recorder) and
- audit trail entries for the PC software components (e.g. PCS).
Die PC Audit Trail Manager software (PCAT) only documents user actions of
the PC software components. Device audit trail entries can only be
documented by using the PC Evaluation Software (PCA3000).
There are various methods by which entries can be documented through the
PC Audit Trail Manager software. Two of these methods are:
- printing out on paper and
- creating a PDF file.
8.1 Printing out on paper
The entries in the message window can be printed out from a printer that is
connected to the PC or the network, via the menu function File
! Print, or by
clicking on the button.
8.2 Creating a PDF file
Via Adobe
Acrobat Using the Adobe Acrobat
1
program package, you can create a PDF file
directly, without intermediate steps.
Via
PostScript
file Without the Adobe Acrobat, a PDF file can be created via PostScript as an
intermediate step.
First you have to generate a file in the PostScript print format using the PC
Audit Trail Manager software. In order to do this, choose a printer with
PostScript capability from the printer list; there are numerous laser printers
with PostScript capability. Set the print option to “Print to file”. Normally, the
system will then generate a PostScript file which is given the ending *.prn by
the printer driver. This file can be converted into the PDF format by using tools
such as GSview
2
or a freely accessible file converter.
Via PDF
printer driver There are some free printer drivers from different manufacturers which make it
possible to create a PDF file directly for each print job.

Check the PDF files on the screen after they have been converted
successfully. If you are not satisfied with their visual appearance,
you can repeat the procedure with another PostScript printer
driver.
