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

- 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
A single horizontal rule (---) prints as a thin divider line — it does not start a new page. Put two --- in a row to force a page break:
Content on page 1...
---
Still page 1 — a single --- is just a divider...
---
---
Content on page 2...In the editor, a page break shows as a double dashed line. Leave a blank line above the first ---, otherwise the text above turns into a heading.

Tips
- Preview the output in the print dialog before saving

---in a row 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
