Hi Allison, If you are using version 3 of Arches, in order to print/save resource reports I would point you to these 3 commits on an installation I did for the Theban Mapping Project, add print button and function <https://github.com/mradamcox/ead/commit/def7803541db558665c55d778efe59235945100a>, add css to support printing <https://github.com/mradamcox/ead/commit/92dddc91fda8a49a33a63a1dc0973aa48c5c0d18>, and configure report to print <https://github.com/mradamcox/ead/commit/1f0236c1c0bd314976859733707ac28545d8d00f>. Basically, I added the button to the report header, added a function to handle the button, and then added some css that would make the report look better when it was going to be printed. Generally, when you print from the browser, you are given the option to save as a pdf as well. I have not implemented a "download PDF" type button anywhere.
As for functioning offline, you will need to do a bit of work to make that possible. In v3, at least, you will need to download the js and css files and change the references to them in base.htm. For example, here <https://github.com/mradamcox/afrh/blob/master/afrh/templates/base.htm#L23> is the section that loads all of the css from a different project I did that I had set up to work (less map layers) offline. Arches 4 handles this part of the process more easily by using a package manager called bower (which automatically downloads all css and js resources on installation). However, as Vincent says, map tiles generally always come from online sources, and with Arches 3 and 4 online map sources are integrated by default--Bing and MapBox, respectively.
