Exporting a report as PDF

Every report can be downloaded as a PDF that matches what is on screen: the columns you have shown, in your order, the filters and date range you applied, the grouping, and the summary tiles above the table. The document uses the same layout as your purchase order and transfer order PDFs, with your company logo in the header, so it fits alongside them.

Exporting a table report

Open the report, set it up the way you want it, then click the arrow next to Export CSV and choose Export PDF. A small dialog opens:

Orientation — Auto (the default) picks portrait when everything fits, and landscape otherwise. Choose Portrait or Landscape to override.
Include summary tiles — on reports that show headline tiles above the table, switch them on or off in the PDF. On by default.
Flatten to item rows — on a grouped report only. Off exports the group rows exactly as displayed; on exports the individual items instead. This is the same toggle as in the export menu.

Below the options the dialog tells you whether the table fits the page and how many rows the PDF will contain, for example All 312 rows or First 2,000 of 4,210 rows. Click Export PDF to download the file.

Choosing the orientation, and the “too wide” warning

Before anything is generated, Logistified estimates how wide your columns will be from the rows currently on screen and states the result:

Fits on A4 portrait.
Wider than portrait — landscape selected. Auto switched to landscape for you.
Too wide even for landscape. The columns will be squeezed and wrapped to fit the page. The export still works, but the text gets small; consider hiding some columns in the Columns popover first.

The warning never blocks the export. Nothing is ever cut off at the page edge: when a table is wider than the page, the columns share the width proportionally and long values wrap onto extra lines.

What ends up in the PDF

Header — your company logo (if you uploaded one under Settings → Purchase Orders → General), the report name and view name, and the report’s scope as plain lines: date range, locations, sales channels, cost basis, any report-specific options, and the active filters. A Generated line records when the file was made and how many rows it contains.
Summary tiles — the headline figures shown above the table, when included.
The table — the columns in the order shown on screen, with the same number, currency, percentage and date formatting you see in the table. Numbers are right-aligned; columns whose values are approximations carry the same ≈ mark as on screen; column headers name the cost basis where the table does.
Grouped reports — the group label and the item count lead each row, exactly like the grouped table.
Every page repeats the column headers, so a table that runs over several pages stays readable.

Image columns are not included in the PDF; the dialog says so when your view contains one. Use CSV or XLSX if you need the image links.

Exporting only selected rows

On reports where rows can be selected, select the rows and choose Actions → Export selected (PDF). The same dialog opens, the file name ends in -selected, and the header notes how many variants were selected. The PDF contains only those rows, regardless of the page you are on.

Exporting a scorecard

The Statistics and Profit scorecards have an Export PDF button instead of the CSV menu. The PDF is a portrait page of the tiles you see on screen. When the scorecard shows a comparison with a previous period, each tile also carries its vs Last 7 days line with an up or down arrow, using fresh figures for both periods at the moment you export. A custom date range has no comparison period, so those PDFs show the tiles alone.

Limits

A PDF contains at most 2,000 rows. When a report has more, the dialog says so before you export, the PDF opens with a notice naming both numbers, and a warning appears after the download. Export CSV or XLSX for the full set.
Charts are not exported. Switch back to the table view; the PDF always contains the table.
Generating a very wide report with many rows can take up to a minute. The dialog stays open until the file is ready.
