PDF is a highly portable document format that is great for sharing or printing any slide deck. PPTX slides can be viewed in Microsoft PowerPoint, LibreOffice, Apple Keynote, and Google Slides. While your HTML slides can be published by copying the exported files under your own website or [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).

### Settings

The set of `print` settings let you customize PDF and PPTX output when exporting GitPitch slide decks.
These settings should be enabled or disabled as required in the [PITCHME.yaml](/conventions/pitchme-yaml.md) for your slide deck.

### Defaults

```yaml
print-fragments : true
print-notes     : false
print-footer    : false
print-hires     : true
```

### Details

By default, the following document export controls are activated:

1. Each [markdown fragment](/grid-layouts/fragments.md) and [code fragment](/code/presenting.md) is printed on an individual page.
1. Speaker [notes](/speaker/notes.md) are not printed.
1. Slide [footnotes](/settings/footnote.md) are not printed.
1. PPTX screens are captured in hi-resolution.

When all *print* settings are enabled the following document export controls are activated:

1. Each [markdown fragment](/grid-layouts/fragments.md) and [code fragment](/code/presenting.md) is printed on an individual page.
1. Slide-specific speaker [notes](/speaker/notes.md) are printed on an individual page.
1. Slide [footnotes](/settings/footnote.md) are printed on each page.
1. PPTX screens are captured in hi-resolution.

### Customize

You can override any of the `print` setting values for custom behavior by enabling or disabling any of these settings in the [PITCHME.yaml](/conventions/pitchme-yaml.md) for your slide deck. For example:

```yaml
print-fragments : false
print-notes     : false
print-footer    : false
print-hires     : false
```
