Download publications as a PDF (Pro only)

A Maglr publication is an interactive web document that lives on a url. Therefore, it’s format is not directly translatable to a PDF if you consider that it can contain elements like multimedia, animations, pop ups, forms, and so on. Similarly, you would not save a website as a PDF.


For Pro pages, we were able to create a solution that (to an extent) can convert your Maglr publication to a static PDF export. Essentially, the system takes screenshots of your publication and combines these into a PDF document.


Warning: Block pages can not be turned into a PDF.


Important considerations before downloading


There are some very important considerations when using the PDF export option for your publication. Please read the following carefully:


  • Any elements that are not immediately visible in your publication, will not be visible in your PDF export (i.e. elements that would normally animate into the page)
  • Groups or layers that are invisible by default do not appear in the PDF (i.e. pop ups)
  • If a page contains a scene of the type ‘longpage', it is converted as one long PDF with all scenes below each other
  • If the page consists of full screen scenes, they are converted as separate PDF pages in A4 landscape format
