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.

- For agent-driven reads of project state: MCP server.
- For the broader plan picture this exports from: Releases and Tasks.
