Can boards be converted into some kind of documents?

John Halko

I am a writer of fiction & some nonfiction. I am new to Trello. I like it as a means of visually "outlining" my stories/novels & other projects but I want to know if it is possible to convert boards, once I have finished making one into a printable "outline" document of some sort. Can Trello boards be converted some format of printable document, which can be handed out and read like a normal document?

@John Halko You can print an entire board as a PDF from the board menu, which will come out with list names and card titles. There will be nothing from card descriptions/attachments and so on.

You can also print a card as a PDF, or you can use a board export powerup or the business class CSV board export, or you could use the API to grab everything as a Google Sheet/doc, this is a good primer:

You could also use a Butler report to loop through all cards and send you an email with card titles and descriptions:
