How to generate, customize, and download a PDF of your rundown including orientation, repeating headers, and page breaks

Written by John Alexander

Export your rundown as a PDF to share with your team or print for the show. The PDF export dialog lets you configure orientation, repeating column headers, and manual page breaks before downloading.

Opening the PDF Export Dialog

  1. Click the ellipsis menu (β‹―) in the top-right corner of the rundown.

  2. Select PDF Export.

  3. 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. The preview updates automatically when you switch.

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 β€” useful for long rundowns that span multiple pages.

Turn it off if you only want headers on the first page.

Adding Page Breaks

Use page breaks to control exactly where a new page starts in the PDF.

  1. Expand the Page breaks section in the controls panel.

  2. You'll see a list of all rows in your rundown. Hover over the gap between any two rows β€” a dashed + Page break indicator appears.

  3. Click the gap to add a page break. A solid Page break label confirms it's set.

  4. A floating Update preview button appears at the bottom of the preview pane. Click it 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.

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 page break changes, the PDF regenerates automatically before downloading so your file always reflects the latest settings.

Customize Column Layout

The PDF uses your current column order and visibility. To customize which columns appear or their order, use the columns dropdown or column headers to hide / rearrange columns.
