Hi, I wondered if it’s possible to download pdf reports directly from Asana.  
I,m thinking of reports that show project progression, time line, task completion etc ?

Thanks

Hi @trond.holthe

You can’t export directly to pdf from Asana itself, but I’d recommend the Asana2Go Chrome extension. There’s more detail here:

> [@Asana2Go: Copy, export, and print from Asana flexibly (Free for most users/companies)](https://forum.asana.com/t/free-beta-copy-export-and-print-from-asana-flexibly-with-asana2go/25392):
>
> [Asana2Go](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/asana2go/meaajmlecpkbjcofehfpjngpnpfpjlkd) is a popular multi-purpose tool that allows you to copy, export (CSV for Excel and Google Sheets, JSON), and print (or save to PDF) from Asana flexibly. To see what it can do, and how to use it, [watch this video](https://youtu.be/HzXgh8i8Dv0). Novices: Just select your tasks and a predefined report format and go. Experts: Create your own formats, essentially giving you access to the power of the Asana API without a complex programming language – use Markdown or HTML and a templating language with built-in editing h…

If you watch the demo video, you can see how to export as a pdf. I’m sure @Larry_Berger_lpb would gladly answer any questions on it.

Thanks @Mark_Hudson and hi @trond.holthe,

Actually, both Asana and [Asana2Go](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/asana2go/meaajmlecpkbjcofehfpjngpnpfpjlkd) use the browser’s Print dialog and it’s Print to PDF capability for PDF output. So in Asana, you **can** print to pdf for some things as explained in [Setting Up a Project in Asana | Product Guide • Asana Product Guide](https://asana.com/guide/help/projects/actions#sts=Print%20your%20project) . But that choice isn’t present for Timeline, say, (which I believe Asana has said is coming at some point) so you’d need to capture a screenshot and then print that to pdf.

Asana2Go offers nearly 20 standard output options, and an unlimited number you can create yourself. When you write “project progression” I’m not sure what you mean precisely, but perhaps this article and video on an Asana2Go capability would help:

> **[Asana2Go: Projects Dashboards and Roll-Ups](https://medium.com/asana-consulting-trilogi-solutions/asana2go-projects-dashboards-and-roll-ups-e7dedb86c5a6)**

> Asana2Go now creates projects dashboards with rolled-up information from multiple projects and teams.

Unfortunately, if I have a project with several tasks (written notes, images, replies from others, etc.) I am not able to export this as one (full) PDF file with all details and images included, as one can see in each ‘exploded’ task. All it get is the tasks headers only . . .  
Once a project is finished (R&D and Design) I need to be able to export this as one complete document (printed, Word or PDF) but have not found a solution to do this. Note, we do not use Asana for time or people management, just for ‘logging’ every step in R&D and Design, until ready for production.  
Any suggestions welcome - Gerard

I would like to join this issue asking for a solution, so it would be possible to export in one unique pdf all subtasks (and its lower subtasks) with comments and attached files, from the upper task.  
It is very annoying doing it one by one subtask.

In my case I use Asana to construction supervision, and I would like to have a complete report for each task.  
I have tried Asana2go, but it is too complicated to customize and it doesn’t get what I need.

Regards from Spain.
