Export a PDF in Diaz Editor
Two clicks turns your project into a client-ready PDF. Three formats: quote, work-drawing, or permit pack.
Quick answer
- Open your project. Pick
File → Export → PDF. - Choose Quote, Work-drawing, or Permit pack.
- Click Export. PDF lands in your project folder.
Step-by-step
- Open the project you want to export. Make sure layers and components are placed — the PDF reflects what is currently visible.
- Choose
File → Export → PDF. The export dialog opens with three format options. - Pick a format: Quote (3D render + BOM + total price), Work-drawing (technical 2D drawing per discipline), or Permit pack (combined drawings + schedules + BOM for permit submission).
- Set page size (A4 or A3) and orientation. For work-drawings on large floor plans, A3 landscape avoids zoom-needed for fine detail.
- For quotes: set the BTW/VAT split. The dialog asks per line whether it is labor or material — Diaz applies the correct rate (9% or 21% NL, 10% or 21% ES) automatically.
- Click Export. The PDF is written to your project folder, named
[ProjectName]-[Format]-[Date].pdf. The dialog stays open in case you want a second format.
Watch out
- BTW splitting missing: if a quote shows 21% on labor for old housing, you forgot the labor-vs-material toggle per line. Re-open the dialog and tick the labor-rows.
- Pages overlap or cut off: happens when a single drawing is wider than the page. Switch to A3 landscape or split into multi-sheet output (export-dialog → Advanced → Multi-sheet).
- Missing components in BOM: components without a price-database entry get marked
[no price]. Check Settings → Pricing → Database to confirm your supplier is active.
