# Document

A **document** project makes things meant for paper or a PDF: proposals, reports, quotes,
one-pagers. Your users design on a page of real paper size and see where each page ends.

## What your users choose

| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| **Paper** | A4, Letter, Legal or A5, portrait or landscape |
| **Margins** | Top, right, bottom and left, in millimetres (up to 60mm each) |
| **Header and footer** | A line of text printed on every page, aligned left, centre or right |
| **Page numbers** | On or off, left, centre or right, with or without the total ("2 / 5") |
| **Page breaks** | Any section can start a new page |

## Getting it out

The usual format is **PDF**, printed on the chosen paper, with its header, footer and page numbers
on every page:

```ts
const pdf = await editor.exportPdf();
// pdf.url       — fetch the file from here
// pdf.filename  — e.g. 'q3-proposal.pdf'
// pdf.bytes     — its size
// pdf.expiresAt — null while the file is kept
const file = await fetch(pdf.url).then((r) => r.blob());
```

From your server:

```ts
const pdf = await lettrove.designs.export(designId, { user: { id: userId }, format: 'pdf' });
```

| Format | From the page | From your server | In the Download menu |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDF | `exportPdf()` | `format: 'pdf'` | yes |
| HTML (print-ready) | `exportHtml()` | `designs.export(id, { user })` | yes |
| Plain text | `exportPlainText()` | in `designs.export`'s `text` | yes |
| PNG | `exportImage()` | `format: 'png'` | yes |
| ZIP | `exportZip()` | `format: 'zip'` | yes |

The HTML export is print-ready too: opened in a browser and printed (or "Save as PDF"), it comes out
on the same paper with the same page breaks. The header, footer and page numbers print from Chrome
and Edge; other browsers print the pages without them. For a file to hand to someone, use the PDF.

## Good to know

- The editor has no phone preview for documents: paper does not change size.
- Forms are not offered in documents.
