Setup Branding Before Creating Your Notes
Individual Notes are immediately PDF’d at the time they are Timestamped.
The PDF branding of individual notes CANNOT be altered after they are created.
Downloaded Notebooks are PDF’d at the time you decide to download them.
They will use what ever Branding settings you have at that time.
When downloading your Notebooks or Notes, they will be provided in a PDF format.
This makes sharing, printing and disclosing simple and efficient
We therefore recommend you brand your documents with you organizations name and or logo.
We’ve made it easy to add text and /or images as a header for each page of your PDF’d notes.
In App vs. PDF Notes
Headers are only visible in the PDF format of your notes.
