PDF Format

How NoteDrop formats your file notes as PDFs.

Document Structure

Each PDF includes:

  • Header: Firm name (optional), reference number, name, type, date, author
  • Note Type: Displayed as a heading (e.g., "FILE NOTE", "TELEPHONE ATTENDANCE")
  • Body: Your note content with Markdown formatting rendered
  • Page Numbers: "Page X" at the bottom of each page

Dynamic Labels

PDF header labels adapt to your industry profile:

ReferenceMatter No.Patient IDProperty ID
NameClientPatientProperty
CategoryMatter TypeDiagnosisTransaction

Markdown Rendering

Your notes support Markdown formatting:

  • Bold text from **bold**
  • Italic text from *italic*
  • Inline code from backticks
  • Bullet and numbered lists

Multi-Page Support

Long notes automatically flow across multiple pages. Page numbers are added to each page.

Filename Convention

PDFs are automatically named:

YYYY-MM-DD – Note Type – Description.pdf

Example: 2026-01-17 – File Note – Client meeting.pdf

Daily file numbering ensures unique names when creating multiple notes on the same day.
