For legal reasons, we need to provide a complete manual. So we need a way to export multiple sections of the KB as pdf.

Love the idea. And also not because if we as a company update the articles and people are still using the saved/printed PDF. The user will be using outdated information.

When downloading/exporting to a PDF file there should be an automatic disclaimer at the top with something in the trend that downloaded PDF articles can be out of date because they are continuously updated. And that the most recent information is always available in the online knowledge base. And/or a timestamp when the user created the PDF.

I can already see the questions and situations preventing customers from doing something based on outdated information in a downloaded PDF.

We are trying to create a member/lead profile showing the history of the activity, emails, notes, etc. on an individual or company profile as a way of showing our lead process and to provide to members when needed or requested. The CSV files and other file types currently don’t present this information in an easily digestible way nor a professional format to show others. A PDF of customer or company profiles would be really helpful.

Indeed, really important to download knowledge base in PDF ! (entirely or selected areas)

As precised before, we may need in inlcude PDF product documentation to propose a valide contrat.

Without this feature we may lose customer opportunities.

We need this as well. Sadly, the request mentioned above by MissTipsi has been marked as “Delivered”, although the solution presented was merely a CSV export of all articles instead of PDF exports of single articles themselves. Pushing this again.
