Yes, AI doesn’t need PDFs, but printing my notes improves my learning and lets me share them with my group.
Ideally, I want to export a clean, coherent PDF — no cut lines. This isn’t hard to fix. It just requires starting a new page whenever a subtitle would otherwise be cut off.
Being able to print notes helps me share them with friends, employees, and people unfamiliar with Obsidian. I can focus on a specific set of notes without my laptop and create documents I can pass along easily. This feature is key for sharing with other people.
The current PDF export is clunky. Lines get cut off, margins are off, and titles don’t start on a new page — it’s common to see a title stranded at the bottom of a page with all its content on the next. Not a great experience.
This might be the most elegant solution since you just copy and paste which doesn’t require any plugins. Plugins can make exporting faster but copying also involves making decisions what content is being exported which can be a good thing.
Edit: I tested pasting to Word and currently headings are not automatically recognized.
