Consolidate to PDF

Consolidate to PDF is an Obsidian community plugin that combines markdown notes in your vault into one export note and starts Obsidian's PDF export flow.

Features

• Consolidate all vault markdown notes into one document
• Adds a button to the ribbon to start the export process
• Provides the command Consolidate vault to PDF
• Export options modal before each run:
  • Include cover page
  • Include table of contents
  • Add page break after each note
• Table of contents entries link to exported sections
• Preserves folder hierarchy
• Skips .obsidian content and the temporary export note

Temporary export file

The plugin writes a temporary note named __vault_pdf_export_source.md. The current export note is kept during export to avoid premature deletion. Any previous export note is deleted before a new export starts.

Development

• Install dependencies: npm install
• Build and enable watch mode: npm run dev
• Lint: npm run lint

Manual install

Notes

PDF behavior (including link clickability) depends on Obsidian/Electron and the PDF viewer.
