Exporting a brief as PDF
Every brief has a PDF export. Free tools too. Here's how to use both.
There are two PDF exports in FrameworkList. Both produce a clean A4 layout suitable for sharing.
Exporting a strategy brief
Briefs are a Premium feature. If you have one generated:
- Open the brief from the Briefs sidebar tab.
- Click Download PDF in the header.
- The file downloads with the brief headline as the filename.
The PDF includes every section that was generated for the brief (refined thought, options, recommendation, risks, 30/60/90 plan).
Exporting a free tool worksheet
Each free worksheet on /tools/[slug] has its own Export PDF button. No sign-in or subscription needed.
- Fill in the scenario field and one or more block textareas.
- Click Export PDF in the bottom-right of the worksheet.
- The PDF downloads with the scenario as the filename.
The PDF is laid out as a one-page A4 with the framework name, your scenario, and each block as a labeled card.
Troubleshooting
- The button is disabled. You haven't filled in any content yet (or only have empty bullets). Type something and the button enables.
- The download fails or hangs. Usually a browser blocking issue. Allow downloads from the site and try again.
- Chinese / CJK characters render as boxes. Should be fixed — we bundle Noto Sans SC. If you still see boxes, email [email protected] with the brief or worksheet so we can reproduce.
Sharing the link instead
For canvases and briefs, there's also a Copy link option in the article header (web only). The link works for anyone signed into the same account. Briefs are private by default; we don't support public sharing yet.
