Export Quote as PDF
Download a professional PDF of your quote for offline sharing, printing, or archiving outside of JobsiteOn.
What this guide covers
This guide explains how to export a quote as a PDF file in JobsiteOn. You will learn how to download the PDF, what it includes, and when PDF export is useful outside of the standard email workflow.
When to export a PDF
While most quotes are sent electronically via the built-in send feature, there are times when a PDF is useful:
- Printing a hard copy for a face-to-face meeting.
- Attaching the proposal to an email outside of JobsiteOn.
- Archiving a copy in your local file system or cloud storage.
- Sharing with a third party who does not have access to the client link.
How to export the PDF
- Open the quote detail page at
/quotes/[slug]. - Click Download PDF in the action bar.
- The PDF file downloads to your device with the filename format
Quote-[number].pdf.

What the PDF includes
The exported PDF matches the embedded preview and includes:
- Your company logo and branding.
- The contact name and address.
- The property address (if linked).
- All line items with descriptions, quantities, and prices.
- Optional items in a separate section.
- Subtotal, discounts, tax, and grand total.
- Expiration date and terms.
- Notes and conditions.
Tip: Preview the quote before downloading. The PDF matches the preview exactly, so catch any errors before exporting.
Sending the PDF as an email attachment
When you use the built-in send feature, you can choose to attach the PDF:
- Click Send on the quote detail page.
- Check the Attach PDF option.
- The email includes both the client link and the PDF file as an attachment.
This gives the customer two ways to access the proposal.
Note: The PDF is a snapshot at the time of export or send. If you edit the quote later, download a new PDF to get the updated version.
Best practices
- Always preview before exporting to ensure accuracy.
- Use descriptive file names when saving locally so you can find the PDF later.
- Keep a local archive of important proposals for backup.
- When printing, use high-quality settings for the best presentation.
