PDF reports: submissions and route completion
Turn a submission or a finished route into a branded PDF your client can read — one tap, your logo on top.

Two kinds of branded PDF come out of Maliru, both carrying your company logo (set under Global settings → Branding).
The form submission PDF
On any submission's detail, click Export. After a brief "Preparing PDF…", you get an A4 document with:
- The form title, and for inspections a bold Inspection result: PASSED/FAILED.
- A meta table — subject, submitted by, when, status, score — with your logo top right.
- Every answer, laid out with your form's own content blocks as section headings; photos, signatures and image choices are embedded in the document itself.
- The review outcome (Reviewed by {name} · {date} and the note) when reviewed.
- A footer: Generated by Maliru · page n/total.
The file is named after the work, not a number: "{Form} - {Subject} - {date}.pdf" — e.g. Civils Report - Job 993 - 21-07-2026.pdf.
The route completion report
On any route card, Share report builds the client-ready summary of the route (see Working a route on your phone for the field side):
- A4 landscape, excel-style: one row per job with its ROUTE, JOB / SPAN, STATUS, plus up to five of your sheet's own columns that hold values.
- Status cells are colour-coded from your real statuses: green = done, amber = in progress, with a legend up top.
- The header carries the route title, window, assignee and completion ("7 of 12 done · 58%"), with your tenant logo top right — because this report goes to your client.
- The footer credits Created with Maliru with a timestamp and page numbers.
Named "{Route title} route report - {date}.pdf".
How sharing behaves per platform
- Web — the PDF downloads, and a confirmation appears: "Report downloaded." / "PDF downloaded." Check your browser's downloads.
- iOS / Android — your phone's share sheet opens, so you can send it by email, message, AirDrop, or save it to Files.
If something goes wrong you'll see "Couldn't open the share sheet. Please try again." or "PDF export failed." — see Sharing and download problems in Troubleshooting.
Tip: both PDFs reflect the data at the moment you export. For a completion report, export after the last status is set — the colours are the statuses.
