I sometimes use Vikunja as less of a todo list and more of a tracker. For example, I am in the process of buying a house so each house has a todo item, and im using this to log each lead and add comments about the property, store attachments, schedule viewings etc. When someone asks “hey how did X go”, unless I give them a Vikunja account, theres no easy way to share this information. It would be nice to be able to export a task as a PDF, showing the title, due dates, description, comments etc. Leaving out attachments, progress, priorities etc would be fine - just a raw info dump. The web page for a task is currently not print friendly, so its not even like you can print the page to pdf and ignore the clutter. ---

I’m not saying that the pages print well, and I wouldn’t expect them to. But what exactly do you mean by “currently not print friendly”? I just tested “Print… \> PDF” on Chrome 127.0.6533.120 on Windows 11, and it looked surprisingly good. Sure, there’s some fluff around the page, but in your use case that would probably be fine. ---

It sounds like print to pdf could work for you, if you want to share only a single task. Another option would be link share, but then you’d need to share the whole project. ---

Ah, so on Firefox (for me at least), print to PDF will never spill into a second page so text will overlap and become unreadable if you have anything more than like 2 comments. Otherwise, yes, print to PDF would work ---

Gotcha, that’s a bug. It seems to be fine when you access the task via the list view, not as a popup through the kanban board. ---

Yep, works from list or table! Ill close the issue for now then as this is a good enough workaround for what I need. Pretty PDF exports might be a nice to have in the future but obviously this is super low priority. ---

Printing styles for the task opened from the kanban board are now fixed in [cc1b4bbd1b](https://kolaente.dev/vikunja/vikunja/commit/cc1b4bbd1b22c346590685bd5272a8635cdc7715), please check with the next unstable build (should be ready for deployment in ~45min, also on [try](https://try.vikunja.io)). ---
