I am pretty new in Obsidian and I like it very much!
I tried to export a longer note (about 3 pages) into PDF, but I only get just one page as result.
It exports the text which fits on the first page and cut it off there.
Is there a possibility to export the whole note in PDF?
Best regards
Chairon
Perhaps this information is important too. I am working on a Microsoft Surface Pro.
Sounds strange, indeed.

Same here ! I use this feature all the time an today after installing 1.9.3 the PDF export stops after 1 page
Oh, so this is a v1.9.3 issue for you (maybe not the OP)?
Iāll check in a bit when I get home.
yes I searched, but didnāt find anything.
I have also the version 1.9.3 now. (payed 25$ support)
I have the Obsidian Version 1.9.2 on MacBook and here it works fine.
This is important info to share up front when creating a topic. Again, Iāll have a look on desktop later.
edit: it seems an issue with v1.9.3. Hang in there .

I have a workaround, so that you can add page break manually:
first create snippet in .obsidian/snippets/
, such as a page_break.css
, with the following css code:
@media print {
hr {
page-break-after: always;
}
}
Then in the āobsidian->setting->Appearanceā, you can scroll down to the bottom, and enable the snippet that you created (āpage_breakā).
Then, in the note where you want to add a page breaker, add
---
Then, export the note as PDF.
Letās take the Start Here
note in the sandbox vault as an example. The note looks like:
The exported pdf of this note is splitted into multiple pages, which looks like:

Just for your information.
PDF export is working as expected in v1.9.4.
