PDF export

Print-ready board snapshot for stakeholder updates and offline review, plus a Mermaid diagram of the same data.

PDF export produces a print-ready snapshot of your task board, ready for status meetings, stakeholder updates, or offline review. A separate Mermaid export renders the same data as a flow-chart diagram.

Available on Basic and above.

Generating the PDF

From the project's Tasks page, open the export menu and choose Export PDF. Frostbyte renders the current board view server-side via Puppeteer and returns the PDF for download.

The PDF respects your current filter, exporting from the "Bugs only" view gives a PDF of bugs only. Switch to "All" first if you want everything.

Each PDF includes:

  • The project name and snapshot timestamp at the top.
  • The current active release, if set.
  • Tasks grouped by status (To Do / In Progress / Done) with priority and area indicators.
  • A footer with page numbers.

Generating the Mermaid diagram

The Mermaid export renders the same data as a flow-chart-style diagram (releases → tasks, areas as colour groups). It's a .png you can drop into a slide deck or PR description.

Mermaid is also useful for printing relationship graphs that PDFs flatten, for example, seeing all tasks attached to a release at a glance.

Server-side rendering

Both exports run server-side via Puppeteer (Chrome headless). Generating a large project (100+ tasks) takes a couple of seconds; very large projects (1000 tasks) may take 10–15s. The download is a one-shot, no async polling, just a synchronous response.

Tier requirement

PDF and Mermaid exports require Basic or above. The free tier doesn't include PDF export, it does include CSV, which covers most data-portability use cases. See Plans and limits.

What's not in the PDF

To keep the PDF focused on planning state:

  • Activity entries are excluded (history isn't useful in a status snapshot).
  • Subtask details are summarised as a count (e.g. 3/5).
  • Feedback Hub submissions are excluded (they live in their own queue).
  • Member avatars are excluded (initials only, to keep the file small).

If you need any of these in a downloadable form, use CSV import and export for tasks or copy directly from the moderation queue.
