# Export to PDF

Export an individual record or list of records into a PDF format that supports accessibility. When this feature is enabled, accessibility tags are available in the PDF tag tree to help users who rely on-screen readers to navigate, understand, and interact with the generated PDF documents.

## Export to PDF for list of records

Export a list of records in a variety of formats. The **Export** option is available in the column heading context menu in List v2. In List v3, it’s available in the list title menu.

PDF export orientation includes:

-   Portrait
-   Landscape
-   Detailed Portrait \(exports the list and the associated form for each record\).
-   Detailed Landscape \(exports the list and the associated form for each record\).

When the accessibility property is enabled, you get a pop-up when they export to PDF where they can specify whether to create an accessible PDF or not.
