Praxsuite

Export

Vincent Depassier · September 24, 2026

There are two ways a document leaves Praxsuite as a file, and they produce different results. The portal's Export as PDF prints the document as you see it. The export used by automations and AI agents writes a PDF or Word file with the document's text, headings, lists and tables.

Export on a document: Export as PDF opens the browser's print dialog.

The trap: an automation's export leaves out images and blocks. The Docs: Export to File node, and agents that export, keep text, headings, lists, code, quotes and tables — and drop images, callouts, buttons and signatures. A quote with a logo and a signature comes out without either. If a client needs the document as it looks on screen, send them the public link or a PDF exported from the portal.

From the portal: Export as PDF

Export → Export as PDF opens your browser's print dialog with the document laid out for printing. Choose Save as PDF as the destination to get a file.

  • What you get is what the editor shows: the page size, header and footer, tables, images and colors.

  • In a template with Preview Values on, the export uses the preview values.

  • It opens a new window. If your browser blocks pop-ups, you see Unable to open print window. Please allow popups. — allow them for the portal and try again.

There is no Word export in the portal.

From the public page

A published document's public page offers Export → PDF and Print document to its readers, when Export as PDF is on in the document's public view settings. It works the same way — through the reader's print dialog.

From automations and agents

The Docs: Export to File node and the workspace's AI agents can export a document to PDF or Word. The file is saved to the workspace's Files, private unless the node is set to make it public, in which case it gets a permanent public link.

Kept

Dropped

Headings, paragraphs

Images

Bullet, numbered and task lists

Callouts, buttons, embeds

Code blocks, quotes, dividers

Signature boxes and signatures

Tables, as real tables

Pages are always A4. The export always uses the document's current saved content, published or not.

Exporting through the API needs the Export permission on the document — see Permissions.
