A good PDF export makes Anytype a Word replacement :partying_face: What’s needed? :page_facing_up: Page formatting Header and footer customizable Page num / all pages copyright title author current chapter date Margins :clamp: Branding Should be possible to make background (PDF or PNG) tem…

The way PDF export works are that it renders the markdown on the page into PDF. Allowing for modification would mean changing many things, and This may not be possible even to implement.

@div3xi Some of these might be harder to implement than others but @wemiprog makes a really good point. Anytype is in a good position to compete with many applications including the Office365 suite. Right now if you do a “print to pdf” of a page it takes snapshots of the app in a specific orientati…

You are absolutely correct, It will be challenging to implement, but maybe there could be a window before exporting to pdf where things can be re-arranged without disturbing the current page. This would make a lot of people switch from other services. Maybe implementing this could be done as a coll…

Yeah Im aware how big this effort would be. But I think its worth it, because it opens a new marketing segment, the office replacement. Many users are not really happy with it. If anytype allows not to use it not only for note taking but note exporting, it would help me to easier convince people ar…

Trying to compete on any level with Word is a pretty significant increase of scope for Anytype if you ask me. That said it sounds like a perfect thing for a plugin. I would only want to see the core team tackle this if a plugin were not feasible for some reason. Also it should be clarified that not…

@Oshyan I’m sorry, I dont get you :thinking: What is the difference between export and Print-to-PDF (ignoring md export)? And, when you write and export code, export to pdf (cz thats what most application export and evryone can read), you have to specify a margin. Why not expose that var to users …

@wemiprog Well, it’s not just about how difficult it is to implement (or not), it’s also about maintenance over time, scope creep, etc. But I’ll admit this is not something I care a lot about myself (the feature I mean), and it’s clear you’re aware of the potential for overdoing it, so I’ll step out…

Having selectable text and clickable links are a must have for exported PDFs, otherwise this feature does not provide too much of use. Please improve it.

Hej! There’s a topic about better export ( Better PDF export / print ), but it is a little bit outdated and no changes in export since that, so… Here’re my thoughts about that. #### WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND I recommend to add several options to Export settings to make final PDFs look more attractive. …

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? Right now the PDF export feature is quite basic and does not allow for almost any customization. It would be nice to be able to configure things like: what fonts will be used in the exported PDF (I’m using a Latin Extended alphabet and had some problems with some fonts miss…

I’ve requested the same thing again and again, but there is little to no hope we will ever get it.
