Creating a custom PDF

Important

We are working to improve the PDF export experience. We are currently working on the following issues:

Page order—If you export more than one page to PDF, they might be displayed in alphabetical order instead of the order in the interface.
Interface update—The export interface options are changing, so these instructions might not match them exactly.
Known limitations—PDF exports are not always completed successfully.
Thank you for your patience.
