Export a Manual as a PDF

Exporting a manual as a PDF in Zoho Learn allows you to share content offline, distribute it externally, and maintain a consistent, printable version of your manual. You can also customize the layout of the exported PDF and secure it with a password.

Exporting manuals as PDF helps you:

  • Share manuals with users outside Zoho Learn

  • Provide offline access to learning content

  • Maintain a fixed, non-editable version of your manual

  • Apply consistent branding and layout across manuals

  • Archive manuals for reference or compliance needs

Notes
