Generate PDF files

Agile Cards lets you print Jira issues as physical cards for use in agile planning sessions, team meetings, or stakeholder reviews. If you're working on Jira Data Center, you can also generate PDF documents directly from Agile Cards.

Benefits

PDF documents offer several advantages:

• Easily send a professionally formatted PDF to team members, stakeholders, or customers.

• Design templates that display each issue on its own page, with front and reverse sides for detailed communication.
