# PDF export

> Export any journey as a PDF. A live cover image of the page you're looking at, plus structured pages of every thread, engagement, and open action.

Sometimes you need a journey out of Runwita and into someone else's hands. A handover doc for a colleague, a status pack for a manager, a snapshot for a customer review. The PDF export is built for those moments.

## How to export

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the journey">
    Click into any journey from the Journeys list, Home, or via ⌘K.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Options menu">
    Top-right of the journey header, click **Options ▾**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click 'Export as PDF'">
    The button changes to *Exporting…* for a few seconds while Runwita captures the live page and builds the structured layout.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a save location">
    A native macOS save dialog appears with a default filename of *Customer - Use case.pdf* in your Downloads folder. Adjust if you want, then click Save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The PDF opens in Finder">
    Runwita reveals the file in Finder once it's written. Open it with Preview, Acrobat, or whatever you use.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What's in the PDF

The export is two parts:

**Page 1: a screenshot of the live journey.** Exactly what you were looking at when you clicked Export. Same hero, same open threads, same right-rail intelligence. If you want the manuscript-feel cover, this is it.

**Pages 2 onwards: structured content.** Same data as the live view, rendered in a print-styled layout designed for paper:

* **Hero**, mirroring the *Where we stand* header. Active status, customer + use case, engagement count, months in, owner, last touch.
* **Open threads**, every non-resolved topic with its full chronological touchpoint history (date, state, note per row). Resolved topics get a brief tail at the end of the section.
* **Engagements**, in reverse chronological order. Title, date, summary, sections, decisions per engagement.
* **Open actions**, sorted by due date, with owner and due date inline.
* **Footer**, journey identity on the left, generated date on the right.

## Why both formats

The cover screenshot is for *vibes*. It looks like Runwita, it carries the brand, and it's instantly recognisable to anyone you've shown the app to before.

The structured pages are for *use*. Text is selectable, copy-pasteable, searchable in any PDF reader. Someone reviewing a thirty-page handover doesn't want to OCR a screenshot to find a name.

You get both, because both matter.

## What's NOT in the PDF (yet)

* **No customer-shareable mode.** Every export today is *Internal*: it includes intelligence outputs (sentiment, deal health, stakeholders), every internal-flagged action, and every engagement note. If you want to share with a customer, eyeball it first or wait for the customer-shareable mode.
* **No multi-journey export.** One journey at a time.
* **No scheduled exports.** Trigger manually each time.
* **No branding controls.** Logo, footer text, header bar are fixed in v1.

These are deliberate v1 cuts, not bugs. They appear when there's real demand.

## When the cover capture fails

Occasionally the live screenshot capture fails (a transient render error, an intelligence panel that's still mid-fetch, a Mac display in the middle of a resolution change). When that happens, the export degrades gracefully: you get a structured-only PDF with no cover, no error message, no failed save. The data is still there, it's just less pretty.

If you find yourself getting structured-only PDFs reliably, file it as a bug at [contact@runwita.com](mailto:contact@runwita.com).
