PDF Format

How NoteDrop formats your file notes as PDFs.

Document Structure

Each PDF includes:

  • Header: Logo (optional), 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:

FieldLegalMedicalReal Estate
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

Files are automatically named using a zero-padded daily increment:

YYYY-MM-DD XX Note Type - Description.ext

Where XX is a zero-padded daily sequence number (01, 02, etc.) and .ext matches your output format.

Examples

  • 2026-01-11 01 File Note.pdf
  • 2026-01-11 01 File Note - Call with Client.pdf
  • 2026-01-11 02 Telephone Attendance.md

The daily counter resets each day and ensures unique filenames when creating multiple notes.
