Who can use Quick PDF?
Quick PDF is available for Pro Users and above. They can quickly and easily download search results to PDF by selecting the "PDF" button above the Search button from the search tab.
Print Options
Name your download: This is the name it will receive in the Downloads tab and when you download the zip to your local machine.
Include Families: Choose to include family members (attachments, embedded docs) that are not part of the current search results.
Merge options:
Download separately: Each document will download as a separate PDF, in the order seen in the search results.
Merge into a single PDF: Combine all documents in the download into a single PDF in the order they appear in the search results.
Merge by family: Documents will be combined as families, with the parent document appearing first, followed by any children.
Versions: Select "Original version of documents" to include saved redactions and redaction labels, if applicable. Alternatively, choose "Documents from a previous production" to download imaged versions from a specific production volume, including associated document endorsements and redactions.
Reviewable redactions: When opting to include redactions, you can also make them transparent for review. This places a red outline around each redaction, making the actual content of the redaction visible to any external party - such as a judge for in-camera review.
⚠️ Selecting "Documents from a previous production) for documents that are not previously produced will result in placeholder documents (slip sheets).
Progress Bar / Export
Your saved PDF downloads will be visible as a progress bar from the search page and can also be accessed and exported from the Downloads tab in a folder named "PDF Downloads."
Naming Downloads
Downloaded PDFs are named using the native filename with a numeric prefix (e.g., 000000_filename.doc; 000001_filename.xlsx; etc.). To download PDFs with Bates numbers as file names, use our 4 step download process form and select "Yes, include previously downloaded images" in Step 3.
Uses and Limitations
Quick PDF enables easy downloading of PDF copies of files in your Logikcull database. However, it does not support creating new or custom endorsements, nor using ShareSafe to distribute PDFs outside of your account. For these options, the 4 Step Download process is available (read our guide for downloading productions here ).
