Printing and Saving PDFs

Print any analysis or planning view — or save it as a PDF — as a clean document

What you get on the page

Each view prints as a clean, light, paginated document — not a screenshot of the app. Report views become a readable document of their findings; rosters like Characters, Locations, and the Story Bible print as profile sheets and reference tables; the Outline and Beat Cards print as a structured beat sheet.

The chart-heavy views print their underlying data as tables rather than the on-screen graphics — a tension or pacing report you can actually read on paper, not a shrunken chart. The printout reflects the view as it stands right now, so anything you've filtered or the analysis you've run is what shows up: the Consistency report prints the issues currently in view, and the Storyline timeline keeps its date grouping.

Tips and pitfalls

Run analysis first for the Insights views

The Insights reports print what your last analysis produced. If a view is still on its empty state telling you to run analysis, its printout will be empty too — run analysis, then print.

The Print button follows the active view

There's one Print button, and it prints whatever you're looking at. Switch to the view you want before printing; it's disabled on views that can't be printed.

Save as PDF lives in the print dialog

There's no separate “Export PDF” button for views — and that's deliberate, so the PDF always matches the printout exactly. Choose Save as PDF in your OS print dialog.
