# Can I export audit reports as PDF?

Open any lead, click **Download PDF** in the top right. LemAudit renders a branded PDF using your logo and colors in 3–6 seconds. Attach it to a proposal, paste it into a Notion doc, or email it as a follow-up.

## What the PDF contains

The PDF carries the same content as the [public report page](/help/reports/how-do-public-audit-reports-work), styled for print. It opens with a cover that pairs your logo with the prospect domain. Inside: the [health score](/help/audits/how-is-the-health-score-calculated) ring, the category breakdown, the full [issue list](/help/audits/what-types-of-issues-does-the-audit-find) with fix hints, and a closing page with your contact info. Page count is usually 4–7 depending on how many findings the audit produced.

Think of it like printing a Google Doc. Same body, different binding.

## How LemAudit renders it

The export hits the render-pdf edge function. It loads the public report URL in headless Chromium, applies a print-optimised CSS sheet (`@media print`), and saves the result back to storage. The download starts as soon as the file is ready. PDFs are not cached server-side; each click renders a fresh copy, so the latest [re-audit](/help/audits/can-i-re-audit-a-lead-s-website) data is always in the export.

The branding pulled into the cover comes from your [logo](/help/branding/how-do-i-add-my-agency-logo) and [color settings](/help/branding/how-do-i-customize-brand-colors), so a brand swap in the dashboard reflects on the next PDF you generate.

## Worked example

A B2B agency exported PDFs for 9 enterprise prospects on a Friday afternoon. They attached each one to a Monday-morning email. Average file size: 380KB. Average render time: 4.1 seconds. Of the 9, 5 prospects forwarded the PDF internally to a colleague. The agency tracked who replied, which is the whole point. A PDF survives the inbox-to-meeting handoff better than a link does.

## When this isn't right

For very long audits (multi-page sites with 100+ findings), the PDF can run to 20+ pages and become a wall of text. In that case, send the [public link](/help/reports/how-do-public-audit-reports-work) instead — the web view supports collapse, scroll, and search. PDFs are not editable; if your prospect needs a co-edit, send a Google Doc summary alongside.
