Export to PDF
You can export a set of items as a PDF file using the PDF reports included with Jama Connect. If you want to show your content in context, you can include hierarchy in these exports. The default export is created with Office templates and can be modified as needed.
Note
For information about creating custom PDF reports and how to make existing reports PDF-compatible, see Export Velocity reports to Excel.

Results
Explorer Tree
The selected container becomes the title page for the export.
Advanced filter within one project
Reading View includes the container hierarchy above the filtered items, up to the top of the project. Container items that show hierarchy have a grayed-out (disabled) checkbox, while the rest of the items can be selected. Hierarchical containers are exported with the content items.
Cross-project filter
Reading View doesn't display numbering. The export is a listing of items without hierarchical information.
