Workdoc Printing/Export

It would be very helpful to have print settings or page breaks for exporting monday docs to PDF or Printing. We work with non-monday users externally and it would be helpful to have printing be consistent. Print/export previews would help too. Additionally being able to share the monday doc as an email attachment would be a cool feature too. We are able to export to PDF and Print currently and it is annoying to have to print or export then go add spaces to get the export/print to look nice.

We have recently made the move to Monday and are setting up a central location for staff documents and company policies.

We have the requirement to send potential clients and auditors these documents and would need to do so in PDF format. At the moment I can only click “Print” and then when I select PDF, it created huge white borders and makes the whole document very narrow.

If we could export the document to PDF as it has been laid out in the document, that would be a great help to us.

Hello,

I see that there is an option to export a Doc #workdoc to PDF and widgets in the doc are captured as static images in the export. Acknowledging that there are a few bugs, this is great! However, there is no way to paginate the document before exporting to PDF. This results in undesirable page breaks and a PDF that does not look very professional. Additionally, it would be ideal if the header and footer were customizable (e.g., customer brandings/logo, field selection - doc title, date, page number).

I am primarily using Docs to present weekly status reports to Clients. We have found great value in this as it allows for automated dashboard-type widgets alongside customized text/narrative. However, these weekly status reports must be captured, saved and delivered to the Client as a point-in-time snapshot of the project. I find that the Export to PDF functionality does not produce a deliverable of acceptable quality.

Are there any proposed enhancements on the product roadmap?
Is there any other way to capture a point-in-time snapshot of the project?

Thanks,
Matt

@monday-team I’d just like to draw your attention to my previous post. Please let me know if you have any insight regarding this topic. Thanks!

I second that !! ^^^ Yes please

The possiblity to print or export to PDF is great to have, but the current execution gives me the impression that it was a waste of development time, because it lacks the options to actually serve its purpose.

To build further on previous suggestions:
-Option to set-up the visualisation of the workdoc by a specific print page-size and orientation.
-The option to show page ends
-The option to influence page-break
In other words, ‘what you see is what you get’.

I hope it’s understandable that at least the options offered by GoogleDocs and Office 365 should be possible.

I have the same issue as others. Our department uses Monday.com but not the entire company. To share notes, it does give the ability for an item to drop to the next page. We end up with a heading at the bottom of one page and the content for that heading on the next. It looks very unprofessional. I really want our team to use the doc feature but they’ll likely have to use MS Word and attach the file until this issue is fixed. I hope this gets consideration!
