# PDF export

> Export your documentation site as a PDF from the Fern Dashboard.

Export your documentation as a PDF directly from the [Fern Dashboard](https://dashboard.buildwithfern.com/). The generated PDF includes a cover page, table of contents with clickable links, and all content pages with headers and footers.

## Export your documentation

#### Open the Dashboard

In the [Fern Dashboard](https://dashboard.buildwithfern.com/), navigate to the **Overview** tab. Click the **⋮** (vertical ellipsis) menu in the top-right corner and select **Export as PDF**.

#### Customize export settings

Customize your PDF:

* **Product and/or version**: If your site has [products](/learn/docs/configuration/products) or [versions](/learn/docs/configuration/versions), select the product and/or version to export. You can export one version of one product at any given time.
* **Cover title and subtitle**: Defaults to your Fern Docs site title and subtitle. You can customize or hide these.
* **Cover footer**: Toggle the "Generated by Fern" footer on the cover page.
* **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).

#### Export

Select **Export as PDF** to start the export. Large sites may take a few minutes — you can safely close the page. You'll receive an email when the export is complete.

#### Download

When the export completes, click **Open** to download the PDF. You can also view past PDF exports.
