Export PDF

Every generated Foldocs application includes print styles and a Playwright-based PDF script. The export runs against the built site, so it captures the same prerendered content that is deployed.

Build and preview

pnpm build
pnpm preview

The script uses http://localhost:4173 by default. Set FOLDOCS_PDF_BASE_URL when the preview uses another origin.

Install Chromium

Install the browser once for the current Playwright version:

pnpm exec playwright install chromium

Export the sitemap

With the preview server running, export every route listed in sitemap.xml:

pnpm docs:pdf

Files are written to pdfs/. Change the destination with FOLDOCS_PDF_OUTPUT=artifacts/docs.

Export selected routes

Pass paths after the command to avoid exporting the entire site:

pnpm docs:pdf /en/docs /en/docs/deploying /en/docs/guides

Print behavior

The default stylesheet hides the header, sidebars, page actions, pager, footer, feedback controls, and search overlay. Tabs and accordion panels are expanded so their content is present in the PDF.

Continuous integration

Run PDF export after the static build and upload pdfs/ as an artifact. Keep the preview process private to the CI job; no public deployment is required.
