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 Updates section. Exporting the entire spreadsheet to excel does not meet this need in any fashion, ruins formatting, excludes images and other inline references to files, etc.
Hey! I just wanted provide an update on our printing feature. We are in the process of removing the print button and creating a better printing/exporting system for our users. Currently, the export to PDF’ offers same functionality as print, but with better results including:
Formatting to ensure full widget length/width
Supporting more widgets (e.g. gantt)
Removing unneeded information
We value and take into consideration community feedback in our development decisions and encourage you to continue to vote and submit features.
This does not help, as I want some of my employees to just see the board as-is. When I export it, there is much reformatting/resizing I need to do in Excel to get it back to a concise view. I would prefer to just print the image of the board.
It is so frustrating that we can not print. We are now seriously considering to make the move to another planningtool even though we have spent considerable time setting up MONDAY. We tried add-ons but they have issues also (like not printing formula fields). Export to excel is also not working in case of SUM fields. Please try to upgrade as soon as possible
Any ideas on when the pdf export feature will be updated so it includes the full width and height. I am experiencing issues trying to export a Gannt chart to the client. Currently it cuts off what ever does not fit on the screen.
Best option I’ve found is to bypass Monday.com for printing and just use the browser print function. Pagination not perfect, but gets whole plan into a shareable format outside of the platform.
This is a major issues for me as well. I am working with many external partners and not everyone has the time and appetite to learn a new app. The export to pdf of the whole project timeline and Gantt Chart is vital to efficient communication of large project with multiple external parties. I have been advised the the issue with my project is that the length is more than 3 years, but still I am mot entirely sure how this affect the whole functionality of exporting a Gantt chart to pdf.
Multiple users have let you know, that you advice does not help.
Can you please provide an update that is useful? Something so basic, should be available.
I dont find screenshots to be an industry standard, feels like my workflow is regressing with Monday.com
Hi @skJAM and all others on this thread, I am Nishanth T from Appfire, the product manager for PDF Exporter for monday.com, my team and I would love to understand your concerns in detail and see what can be done through our app. Here is the link to book sometime on my calendar: link. Thank you.
How does it work?
You create a docx template and insert specific placeholders on the relevant places. For example the item name would be {{Item.Name}}, the Status column ‘Project Phase’ would be {{Item.Project Phase}} and so on.
Item updates can be created in a table or like this:
{{TableStart:Updates}}
Update from {{Date}} by {{User}}
{{Body}}
{{TableEnd:Updates}}
The app also supports embedded images and rich text.
