Export your rundown as a PDF to share with your team or print for the show. The PDF export dialog lets you configure orientation, paper size, repeating column headers, which columns print, and manual page breaks before downloading.
Opening the PDF Export Dialog
Click the ellipsis menu (âŻ) in the top-right corner of the rundown.
Select PDF Export.
The dialog opens with a controls panel on the left and a live preview on the right.
Choosing an Orientation
At the top of the controls panel, choose Portrait or Landscape. Landscape is selected by default, since most rundowns are wider than they are tall. The preview updates automatically when you switch.
Choosing a Paper Size
Just below the orientation options, use the Paper size buttons to set the page dimensions of your exported PDF. Four sizes are available:
Letter (8.5Ă11âł)
Legal (8.5Ă14âł)
Tabloid (11Ă17âł)
A4 (210Ă297mm)
Letter is selected by default. Selecting a different size regenerates the preview automatically, just like changing the orientation.
Repeat Column Headers
The Repeat column headers toggle is on by default. When enabled, the column header row prints at the top of every page in the PDF, which is useful for long rundowns that span multiple pages.
Turn it off if you only want headers on the first page.
Choosing Which Columns Print
The Columns section lets you build a layout for the PDF: hide columns you do not want to print, and drag the rest into a different order. This layout applies to the export only. Your own column layout in the rundown is never changed, and neither is anyone else's.
Expand the Columns section in the controls panel.
Every column is listed with a switch. Turn a switch off to leave that column out of the PDF.
Drag a column by its grip handle to move it. The PDF prints columns in the order shown here, top to bottom.
Click Update preview to regenerate the PDF with your layout.
A few things worth knowing:
It opens on your current layout. Nothing changes until you touch it, so you can export without visiting this section at all.
Columns you hide in your own grid are listed too, switched off and greyed out. Turn one on to pull it into the PDF at its normal width. Your own view still hides it.
The row number column can be switched off but not moved. It always prints first so group headers line up with the rows beneath them.
At least one column has to print. The switch on the last remaining column is disabled.
Once you have customized the layout, the section header shows a count (for example 7 of 11) and a Reset button appears. Reset returns the export to your own column layout.
Rows Are Never Split Across Pages
A row that will not fit in the space left on a page moves whole to the next page instead of being cut in half. This happens automatically, with no setting to configure, so a script cell is never chopped mid-sentence by a page boundary. It applies to the PDF export, the guest pass PDF, and a guest pass printed straight from the browser.
You may notice extra white space at the bottom of a page as a result. That gap is the row that moved down.
Note: a single row taller than a full page still has to break across pages, because no page could hold it whole.
Adding Page Breaks
Use page breaks to control exactly where a new page starts in the PDF. These are in addition to the automatic behavior above.
Expand the Page breaks section in the controls panel.
You'll see a list of all rows in your rundown. Hover over the gap between any two rows and a dashed + Page break indicator appears.
Click the gap to add a page break. A solid Page break label confirms it's set.
Click Update preview to regenerate the PDF with your page breaks applied.
To remove a page break, click its label again. To remove all page breaks at once, click Clear all at the top of the page breaks section.
If your rundown uses row groups, the row list shows each group header by its group name, and row numbers match the grouped numbering you see in the rundown (for example 6.1), so you can find the right spot at a glance.
Applying Your Changes
Column and page break changes are staged. The preview does not regenerate every time you flip a switch, drag a column, or add a break, so you can set up a whole layout without waiting.
While you have changes waiting, a Changes pending pill floats at the bottom of the preview. Click Update preview in that pill to regenerate the PDF. A small dot also appears next to the Columns or Page breaks heading, so you can tell which section is holding an unapplied change.
Orientation, paper size, and the repeat column headers toggle are not staged. Those regenerate the preview right away.
Row Groups in the PDF
If your rundown uses row groups, group headers print as section headers with their group name, and sub cues keep their grouped numbering. Nothing needs to be turned on, and rundowns without groups export exactly as before.
The same applies to CSV and Word exports, and to what guests see on a guest pass.
Downloading the PDF
Click the Download PDF button at the bottom of the controls panel. The file saves with your show title as the filename.
If you have unapplied column or page break changes, the PDF regenerates automatically before downloading, so your file always reflects the latest settings.
What Prints in the Footer
Every page carries a footer: the byline on the left, the page number in the middle, and the date and time the PDF was exported on the right.
The export timestamp is stamped in your event's time zone, with the zone abbreviated after the time (for example Wednesday, August 12 at 10:30:15 PM EDT). A printed copy read in another city is therefore never ambiguous about when it was generated. Zones without a standard abbreviation show an offset instead, such as GMT+5:30.
Guest Pass Exports
A guest exporting a PDF from a guest pass gets the same dialog, but the Columns section only lists the columns shared on that pass. An export layout can never widen what a guest is able to see.
