Export an item to pdf

[delia (Délia Figueira)]

Hello,
Right now, it is only possible to export an item to Excel but not to PDF.
In the CRM product, it is only possible to edit an invoice.

I would like to be able to export an item into pdf and be able to have an editor to select which values I want to export depending on the choice of the column to export.

For example the uses cases would be : export to pdf the profile of a person, a cutomer request or a product, whare all the values are in an item.

It could be also the possibility to send a nice document to customers or to other departments internally, or to print it.

This feature request is similar but talks only about updates.

Export PDF or Print Updates tab view to PDF

I need to export to PDF or Print (to PDF.) One update or all the updates on an item. Ideally, images would print inline, too, and not break across pages. I think more than find if embedded and attached files display the name with hyperlink to url of the doc if you can go the PDF export route. Even just printing the text with rich text formatting would be better than the nothing we can print now. Data is basically lost in monday and cannot get it out for use as longitudinal documentation in the …

Hi @lwtriad @delia ,

Exporting to PDF was a specific requirement from one of our clients - McDonalds!

If you’d like to see how we did it, I’ll be running a 30min webinar on the 21st of Nov @12.15pm (GMT), to showcase the McDonalds solution.

Feel free to join by registering here !

I’ll speak through the maccas problem statement, demo the solution, talk through our process and the outcome.

Unfortunately, due to privacy concerns, this webinar wasn’t recorded.

I’ll touch-base if we conduct another one.
Best,

Hi @nishanth.thimmareddy , Hi @delia ,

With the DocExport PDF Generator app you can create PDFs exactly like you want.

The concept is using a docx file as a template which will exported as a PDF and automatically saved into a file column. Your ‘editor’ is Microsoft Word to give you full flexibility

In the template itself, you can use placeholders wherever you want to insert data from your board.

If you already have an existing document, you can simply add placeholders and use it as template already (company profile, quote, invoice, contract, etc.).

From there, you can use automations:

Here you can see a quick tutorial of how it works:

You’ll be happy to know that exporting an item to PDF is absolutely possible with The PDF Maker(app.thepdfmaker.com)

With The PDF Maker, you can:

Export any item from your board as a clean, customized PDF
Choose exactly which fields/columns you want to include
Design the PDF layout with a drag-and-drop editor (no coding!)
Automatically attach the generated PDF to a file column, send it via email, or use it in workflows like customer quotes, requests, profiles, etc.

This is perfect for CRM use cases like sending invoices, product summaries, or any structured record directly from Monday.

hi @delia
What you’re describing is a common request, especially in CRM and customer-facing workflows.

Good news: You can already do this using DocCreate — a fully integrated PDF generator for monday.com.

With DocCreate, you can:

Export any item as a customized PDF — including customer profiles, product sheets, requests, or any board item
Choose which fields/columns to include using drag-and-drop placeholders
Hide empty or internal fields — great for conditional exports
Design your PDF layout with logos, headers, sections, and more
Save the PDF to a file column, print it, or automatically email it to clients or other teams

Whether you’re sending invoices, internal summaries, or custom proposals, DocCreate gives you full control over layout and data selection — something the native export tools can’t do (yet!).

I’d also really appreciate the ability to export individual items to PDF or Word - without having to go on an Indiana Jones adventure through third-party app stores.

Frankly, I find this kind of feature gatekeeping exhausting. Every time someone says, “Good news, you can already do that… if you pay extra for a 3rd party integration,” it feels like platform cannibalism. We’re not asking for laser eyes and a teleport button - just basic export functionality. It’s already my data. Why does it feel like I need to rent it back in a different format?

Please consider making this a native feature. Some of us are just trying to do our jobs without assembling a Voltron of bolt-on apps. Nothing says “enterprise-ready” like piping my sensitive internal records through a merry-go-round of sketchy third-party vendors just to get a PDF.
