PDF export

Export your documentation as a PDF directly from the Fern Dashboard. The generated PDF includes a cover page, table of contents with clickable links, and all content pages with headers and footers. The same PDF, plus HTML and Markdown copies of your site, can be downloaded from the terminal with fern docs export.
