# Download as PDF

A button on a document or submission to download a PDF copy.

## Problem

Today there's no PDF export. Use cases: archival, sharing outside Yawp, printing for analog markup. Kevin flagged it 2026-02-25 with the explicit caveat "not super important."

## Goals (rough)

- Download button on document and submission views.
- Output preserves formatting (paragraph structure, title, basic styling).
- Optional: include teacher comments and inline highlights on a "graded copy" variant.
