Making PDFs of Objects

You can convert content in M-Files to PDF and download documents in the PDF format.

Converting to PDF

To convert a file to PDF format, right-click an object in the listing area and select one of these options:


Option	Description
Convert > Convert to PDF (adds separate file)	M-Files converts the selected file to PDF format and keeps the original version of it. If you convert a single-file document, M-Files converts it to a multi-file document and adds the PDF file to it.
Convert > Convert to PDF (replaces original file)	M-Files converts the selected file to PDF format and replaces the original file, for example a Word file, with the PDF file.

Saving content as PDF

To download a file in PDF format, right-click an object in the listing area and select Convert > Save as PDF. M-Files converts the selected file to PDF format and downloads it to the location set in your web browser's settings. If you save a multi-file document as PDF, M-Files adds the converted PDF files into a single ZIP file.
