PDF Export

Add an “Export PDF” button to each documentation page. Uses the browser’s native print-to-PDF.

Configuration

pdf_export:
  enabled: true
  page_break_level: 2

Field	Type	Default	Description
enabled	bool	false	Show the Export PDF button on each page
page_break_level	int	1	Heading level for page breaks: 0=none, 1=h1 only, 2=h1+h2

How It Works

The button triggers window.print() with a print-optimized stylesheet. The generated PDF:

• Strips sidebar, navigation, and interactive elements
• Preserves code blocks with syntax highlighting
• Inserts page breaks before headings (configurable level)
• Includes the page title and URL in headers/footers (browser-dependent)

Page Break Levels

Value	Behavior
0	No forced page breaks
1	Page break before every h1
2	Page break before every h1 and h2

Button Placement

The button appears in the page title row alongside other action buttons (Copy MD, Ask Claude). On mobile, buttons wrap below the title.

Print Stylesheet

MinimalDoc includes a @media print stylesheet that:

• Hides the sidebar, header, footer, and search
• Expands content to full width
• Preserves code block backgrounds
• Forces black text for readability
• Removes interactive elements (buttons, toggles)

Limitations

• Output depends on the browser’s print engine (Chrome recommended)
• Complex tables may not paginate cleanly
• Embedded images must be accessible at print time
• Header/footer content varies by browser
