How to Export a PDF Memory Book

Who this is for: Plus or Pro subscribers who want a formatted document of their memories.

Dorothy creates a PDF memory book every year as a Christmas gift for her family. This year she's exporting "The Early Years" journey as a formatted book.

Steps​

  1. Tap the "Export" tile on the dashboard.
  2. Select "PDF" as the format. (If you're on Free, you'll see the Plus upgrade screen. See Upgrade to Plus.)
  3. Choose scope:
    • "All Memories" — exports your complete archive.
    • "By Journey" — select a specific journey (e.g., "The Early Years").
  4. Select a layout (if prompted): "Book-style" produces a title page, table of contents, and one formatted page per memory.
  5. Tap "Generate PDF." Memoryish builds the document. Large archives may take a few seconds.
  6. Tap "Share" or "Save to Files" when complete. The PDF can be sent by email, printed, or saved to any cloud service.

Expected Outcome​

A formatted PDF with:

  • Title page — your archive name (or journey title) and export date
  • Table of contents — linking to each memory
  • Memory pages — one per memory, with title, date, location, body text, and linked entity names
  • Semantic structure — headings and paragraphs preserved for accessibility and screen readers

Tips​

  • PDF export respects the standard system font size, not your in-app font scale.
  • For a journey-scoped PDF, make sure all the memories you want are added to the journey first. See Create a Journey.
  • Print-quality output works well for A4 or Letter paper.
