How Do I Export a Document as a PDF?

While it is possible to save document information in CSV and plain text file format in Kuali Build (see How Do I Export Data from My Documents?), you may wish to save your documents as a PDF. Below are instructions on how to do that.

Exporting Data from the Completed Form

• In order to export a document to a PDF, you need to ensure that the form setting "Allow the exporting of documents in this app" has been enabled. See What Form Settings are Available? for more information. 
• To export data from one form to a PDF, navigate to the completed form.You can get there easily by clicking on the form in the Document List.
• Once you are on the document page, click Export on the right side of the page. 
• This will allow you to choose if you want to download the document, the workflow history, the workflow comments, or a combination of any components. Select which items you want to download by checking the boxes and click Export. A PDF file with the data will be downloaded. Note: PDF export on the document replaces earlier export options. Plain text export will no longer be available.

• Quick Tip: It's also possible for Kuali Build administrators to set up an integration to hit a service that calls Kuali Build to trigger PDF exports in order to archive forms in campus Enterprise Content Management systems. While this option is available, you do need to have the tech know-how to set up the integration and the API calls.
