mnPDF

As of right now, Obsidian doesn't have a built-in way of generating PDFs from multiple notes at the same time without plugins, and this plugin aims to provide a solution for that problem.

How to use

  1. Install the plugin, either from GitHub or from Obsidian's registry.
  2. Enable the plugin.
  3. Click on the book icon in the ribbon: a view named Preview PDF should open.
  4. (Optionally) Open the sidebar so that it's easier to use, using the … menu.
  5. Add files.
  6. (Optionally) Remove files.
  7. Click on the save button.
  8. Profit! 🎉

How it works

Most of the PDF rendering code is in PdfRenderer.ts, but basically it:

  1. generates a div.print with the rendered Markdown
  2. prints that with electron's WebContents.printToPDF()
  3. renders the resulting PDF with PDF.js!

What it does not do yet (all is planned)

  • no Table of Contents generation
  • no page header/footer
  • no "each file on own page"
