How do I export Notion pages as PDF?

Exporting Notion pages as PDF files is a straightforward process that allows you to share, archive, or print your content in a universally accessible format. This feature is particularly useful for creating reports, documentation, or offline versions of your work.

To export a Notion page as PDF, start by opening the page you want to convert. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top-right corner of your page, then select "Export" from the dropdown menu. In the export dialog, choose "PDF" as your format and select your preferred settings. You can choose to include subpages if your document has nested content, and you can also decide whether to include comments and annotations.

Notion offers several customization options during PDF export. You can select the page size (A4, Letter, or Legal), choose the scale percentage to adjust content sizing, and decide whether to include page numbers. The platform also allows you to export with or without subpages, giving you control over how comprehensive your PDF will be.

One significant advantage of Notion's PDF export is that it preserves most formatting elements, including headers, bullet points, tables, and basic styling. Images and embedded content are also included, making the PDF a faithful representation of your original page. This makes it excellent for sharing polished documents with colleagues or clients who may not have Notion access.

However, there are some limitations to consider. Complex database views, interactive elements, and certain embed types may not translate perfectly to PDF format. Additionally, very large pages with extensive content might take longer to process and could result in large file sizes that are difficult to share or email.

For best results, review your page before exporting to ensure all content displays correctly. Consider breaking extremely long pages into smaller sections for easier navigation and faster processing. If you're exporting pages with databases, remember that only the current view will be included, so adjust filters and sorting beforehand if needed.

The PDF export feature works across all Notion plans and devices, making it a reliable tool for document sharing and archival purposes. Whether you're creating meeting notes, project documentation, or personal records, PDF export ensures your Notion content remains accessible regardless of platform or software availability.
