# 7. Exporting PDF Reports

The PDF report is assembled at the moment you tap the export button. Several settings influence its final content:

| Setting | Effect on PDF |

|---------|--------------|

| ****Include images in PDF**** (on by default) | OD and OS photos are embedded side-by-side on page 1. Turning this off produces a smaller, text-only document |

| ****Practice / Clinic name**** | Appears in a teal banner below the report title on every page header |

| ****Language**** | The entire report — section headings, metric labels, status labels, finding descriptions — is generated in the currently active app language |

| ****Herbal / Nutrition / Chiropractic / TCM mode**** | Each enabled module adds a section at the end of the report, but only when at least one qualifying finding is present |

| ****Auto-save PDF**** (off by default) | When enabled, the PDF is saved automatically at the end of every analysis without requiring a manual tap |

**Report Language**

The PDF is generated using the active interface language at the time of export. All localizable strings — including metric names, zone finding descriptions, ANW status labels, age group names, and therapy section headings — are pulled from the same localization tables used by the on-screen interface.

Supported languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian.

To export a report in a specific language, switch the app language in Settings before tapping the PDF button. You can switch back immediately after.

**File Naming and Save Location**

****File name format****

PupilMetrics_<PatientName>_<YYYY-MM-DD_HH-mm>.pdf

Spaces in the patient name are preserved. The timestamp is in local time.

****Save location****

| Platform | Default save path |

|----------|-----------------|

| ****Windows**** | `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\PupilMetrics_<name>_<date>.pdf` |

| ****Android**** | App documents directory (accessible via Files app) |

| ****iOS**** | App documents directory; use Share to send to Files, iCloud, etc. |

****Auto-save****

When Auto-save PDF is enabled, the file is written silently immediately after analysis completes. No dialog appears. A snackbar confirms the path. On mobile, the file is saved locally; you can then share it manually.

**Image Compression**

When images are included, each eye photo is compressed before embedding to keep the PDF file size manageable:

- Maximum width: ****2,000 pixels****

- JPEG quality: ****85%****
