## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Open the report (briefing doc, study guide, FAQ or similar) in Studio and click the Export control that Ultra Exporter adds. The Studio list also has a direct export entry.
3. Choose **PDF** in the list of outputs and set any options shown for it.
4. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## What you get

You get a fixed-layout PDF of the report for printing, sharing or attaching to an email.

Each successful PDF counts once toward the 5 free premium exports per day, whatever its length.

## Limits to know before you export

- Long tables and complex equations may need a manual check after export.
- Free Word and PDF files may carry a small Ultra Exporter credit in the footer; Pro removes it.
- A cover page, logo, fonts, header and footer need a Pro branded document template.

## Can NotebookLM export reports on its own?

Gemini Notebook can send a report to Google Docs. It has no direct download to Word, PDF, Markdown or LaTeX files and no batch export. Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it free to export NotebookLM reports to PDF?

Yes, within a limit. Word, PDF, image PPTX, long image and video exports share 5 successful exports per local day on Free; failed exports do not count and the quota resets the next day. Pro removes the daily quota.

### Do equations render correctly in the PDF?

Supported equations are rendered by the browser when the PDF is created. The result depends on equation syntax and fonts, so check complex formulas; lossless reproduction of every equation is not guaranteed.

### Can I add a cover page and my logo to an exported report?

Yes, with Pro. Branded Word and PDF templates set a cover, author or organization, logo, fonts, theme colour, header and footer. Up to 20 templates can be saved.

### Can I export several NotebookLM reports at once?

Yes. Batch export in the Studio panel lets you select several reports and notes together. Free handles 5 items per batch; Pro removes that limit.
