Export to PDF

Export any wiki page — or a whole wiki — as a polished PDF publication. It’s not a screenshot of the web page: your content is re-composed for print, with a cover, an automatic table of contents, chapter openers, running headers, page numbers, and clickable cross-references between pages.

Exporting

Section titled “Exporting”
  1. Open any wiki page.
  2. In the cover toolbar (top-right of the cover image), click the Export to PDF button (the download icon).
  3. Choose your options and click Generate PDF.
  4. When it’s ready, click Download PDF.

Larger wikis render in the background — the dialog shows live progress and the download button appears when it’s done. You can close the dialog and it will keep going; re-opening a matching export reuses the finished file instantly.

Options

Section titled “Options”
  • What to export — just the current page, or the whole wiki (every page, organised into chapters by your folder structure).
  • Theme — pick a publication style:
    • PostRoll Sourcebook — a warm, decorative fantasy sourcebook.
    • Clean Encyclopaedia — an airy, modern reference.
    • Field Journal — an aged explorer’s journal.
  • Title, subtitle, author / credits — shown on the cover and title page. Leave the title blank to use your world’s name.
  • Layout — toggle the cover page, title page, and table of contents.

Presets

Section titled “Presets”

Save a set of options as a named preset (per world) and load it next time — handy if you export the same wiki regularly, or keep separate looks for players and GMs.

What gets included

Section titled “What gets included”
  • Pages: as the owner or an editor you get every page, including unpublished drafts. Shared viewers only get pages published to them.
  • Cross-references: a wikilink to another page (or a specific section) that’s part of the same export becomes a clickable link in the PDF. Links to pages outside the export stay as plain styled text.
  • Images are embedded at print resolution.
  • Cards appear as a compact card reference (artwork + title).

Some interactive or dynamic content can’t be printed and appears as a labelled placeholder — for example live maps and boards, dynamic index blocks, and buttons. Their pages are still included; open them in the app for the full version.

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • A wiki’s folder structure becomes the book’s chapters and parts, so tidy folders make a tidier book.
  • Give headings meaningful titles — they build the contents page and the PDF bookmarks.
  • Very large, image-heavy wikis take longer; the progress indicator tells you how far along the render is.
