Making a PDF or printout of your catalogue

A PDF is the easiest thing to send to a customer or a shop, and a printout is useful at the counter. Both come from the same button.

Make a PDF

1. Open the catalogue maker, add your items and photos.
2. Press "Print or save as PDF (with photos)".
3. In the print window, choose "Save as PDF" (on a computer) or "Save as PDF" in the share menu (on a phone) as the destination.
4. Choose paper size A4, and turn on "background graphics" if you want colours.
5. Save, and send the file on WhatsApp.

Printing at a shop

Save the PDF and take it to a print shop, or print it at home. A colour printout on thick paper makes a good counter display. Print 2 or 3 columns per page, so photos stay a good size.

Keep the file small

The maker shrinks each photo before it saves, so a catalogue with 20 items is usually well under a few megabytes. If a PDF is very large, remove some photos or split the catalogue into two by category.

Updating

When a price or an item changes, edit it in the maker and make a new PDF. Name the file with the date, such as "catalogue-november-2026.pdf", so you and your customers know which is the latest. Old PDFs sit in people's phones, so say "prices may change" at the top.

Text list or PDF?

• Text list: quickest to send and update, good for items with no photos.
• PDF: good for items sold by looks.
• Order link: good when you want ordered quantities and a total sent back to you.

Photos stay in your own browser. The order link holds the item names, prices and descriptions but no photos, and orders go only to the shop's WhatsApp. Example items and prices are made up. No tax or food rules are stated here: check them where you live. Checked 14 November 2026.
