Export Frames as PDF

🎯 What is it?

You can now export any Frame as a PDF document directly from Dust. When exporting, you can choose between portrait or landscape orientation to best fit your content. Enterprise plans receive clean PDFs without any branding, while other plans include a discreet "Created with Dust" footer.

💡 Why is it useful?

Frames are powerful visual tools for data analysis, reports, and presentations within Dust. However, many of you needed to share these insights outside the platform—whether for compliance documentation, distribution to external vendors, or integration into company repositories like SharePoint. This was one of your most requested features, and we're excited to make sharing your work effortless.

⚙ How does it work?

Simply open any Frame and select the export option. Choose your preferred orientation (portrait or landscape), and Dust will generate a PDF version of your Frame in seconds. The export handles most Frame layouts automatically.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Compliance & Documentation: Export weekly analytics Frames as PDFs for compliance archives or audit trails in your document management system.

External Reporting: Share performance dashboards or project status Frames with external partners, vendors, or clients who don't have Dust access.

Executive Presentations: Convert data visualizations into PDFs for inclusion in board presentations, SharePoint libraries, or email distributions.

Offline Access: Create PDF versions of critical Frames for offline reference during travel or in low-connectivity environments.

📈 Benefits for you

• One-click sharing: Transform interactive Frames into universally accessible PDF documents instantly

• Professional output: Clean, presentation-ready documents suitable for any audience

• Flexibility: Choose the orientation that best showcases your content

• Broader reach: Share your Dust insights with anyone, regardless of their access to the platform

🚀 How to access it?
