#23 Print to PDF
Press Cmd+P (Mac) or Ctrl+P (Windows) to print any note — or save it as a PDF using your browser's built-in print dialog.
How it works
- Open the note you want to print
- Press Cmd+P (Mac) or Ctrl+P (Windows)
- Your browser's print dialog opens
- Choose "Save as PDF" as the destination — or send to a real printer
- Click Print / Save
PenPage automatically hides all UI (sidebar, toolbar, navigation) and shows only your content on a clean white background.
Page breaks
Use a horizontal rule (---) to force a page break:
Content on page 1...
---
Content on page 2...Each --- becomes a page break in the printed output. Use this to control where pages split.
What you get
| Element | Print behavior |
|---|---|
| Text | Black on white, 12pt |
| Headings | Preserved, won't break after |
| Images | Fit to page width |
| Code blocks | Light gray background, stays together |
| Tables | Visible borders |
| Mermaid diagrams | Rendered on white background |
| Links | Shown with underline |
Tips
- Preview the output in the print dialog before saving
- For long notes, add
---between sections for clean page breaks - Mermaid charts render cleanly — the diagram stays on one page when possible
- Code blocks won't split across pages
