Lightning PDF Generator
Lightning PDF Generator: turn any Salesforce page into a shareable PDF or image.
Meet Lightning PDF Generator: Salesforce Pages to PDF in One Click
Your team already has the information they need on a Salesforce record page. Lightning PDF Generator lets them take it with them. Download the visible view, the entire page, or only the components that matter as a clean PDF, with no complex template mapping, no Apex and no Visualforce.
In short: Add the component in Lightning App Builder, choose what to capture, and your users get a PDF with one click. What you see on the page is what you get in the file.
Why Teams Choose Lightning PDF Generator
Fast to set up: Install the managed package, drop the component on a page and you are done. No code needed.
Capture exactly what you need: Download the window, the full page, a component by index, or any element using a CSS selector.
Branded and tailored: Set your own button label and PDF file name, including dynamic names built from Salesforce merge fields.
PDF or image: Use the PDF Downloader or Image Downloader to get PDF or PNG output.
Combine components: Merge multiple page components into one PDF with the Multi-Component PDF Compiler.
Point and click targeting: The Interactive Modal Selector lets admins pick the target visually and captures the CSS selector or component index automatically.

Good to Know: Known Limitations
Please review before generating PDFs. The limitations below can affect how your output looks.
PNG Image Support Only: The tool supports only PNG images. If your custom content includes other image formats, those images will not appear in the generated PDF.
Domain-Specific Image Hosting: For custom content, images not hosted on the same domain as the record page will not be displayed in the PDF.
Special Character Rendering: Occasionally, special characters may not render correctly in the PDF output.
SVG Image Incompatibility: SVG images are not supported in PDF generation. Since Salesforce uses SVG images for certain UI buttons, those may not be rendered in the PDF.
Quick Reference
Limitation
