# Export Map to PDF

Users can download a section of the map as a PDF. This tool can be used to print out any details from the project. Once the ‘Export Map' button is clicked, a menu will be displayed along with a rectangle on the map. The rectangle, which indicates the area on the map to be exported, can be moved.

Depending on whether an A3 or A4 format is selected, the menu will appear as follows:

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-menu-a4-menu-a3-%28def" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 59.5938px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"></col><col style="width: 50%;"></col></colgroup><thead><tr style="height: 29.7969px;"><td class="align-center" style="height: 29.7969px;">**Menu A4**</td><td class="align-center" style="height: 29.7969px;">**Menu A3 (Default)**</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr style="height: 29.7969px;"><td style="height: 29.7969px;">[![export-map-a4.png](https://wiki.app.gridit.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/export-map-a4.png)](https://wiki.app.gridit.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/export-map-a4.png)</td><td class="align-center" style="height: 29.7969px;">[![export-map-a3.png](https://wiki.app.gridit.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/export-map-a3.png)](https://wiki.app.gridit.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/export-map-a3.png)</td></tr></tbody></table>
