Customize export settings

Customize your PDF:

  • Product and/or version: If your site has products or versions, select the product and/or version to export. You can export one version of one product at any given time.

  • Headers and footers: Add text to the top or bottom of each content page using templates with {pageIndex} and {totalPages} placeholders. Customize the position (right or left).
