Exporting as PDF

On the desktop application of Trilium it is possible to export a note as PDF. On the server or PWA (mobile), the option is not available due to technical constraints and it will be hidden.

To print a note, select the button to the right of the note and select Export as PDF.

Afterwards you will be prompted to select where to save the PDF file. Upon confirmation, the resulting PDF will be opened automatically.

Should you encounter any visual issues in the resulting PDF file (e.g. a table does not fit properly, there is cut off text, etc.) feel free to report the issue. In this case, it's best to offer a sample note (click on the button, select Export note → This note and all of its descendants → HTML in ZIP archive). Make sure not to accidentally leak any personal information.

Landscape mode

When exporting to PDF, there are no customizable settings such as page orientation, size, etc. However, it is possible to specify a given note to be printed as a PDF in landscape mode by adding the #printLandscape attribute to it (see Adding an attribute to a note).

Page size

By default, the resulting PDF will be in Letter format. It is possible to adjust it to another page size via the #printPageSize attribute, with one of the following values: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, Legal, Letter, Tabloid, Ledger.

Keyboard shortcut

It's possible to trigger the export to PDF from the keyboard by going to Keyboard shortcuts and assigning a key combination for the exportAsPdf action.
