  I agree that there might be a problem with exporting all straight off, but how about either an export working when convenient for the server, or limit the size? There is a nice use for a pdf export, and if you want to use it with any AI it is your call. (I get the impression that you want to train an AI on your world, which sounds interesting.)

  These could lead to absolutely massive PDFs, which would be a drain on the resources for managing the site to create.

  I think there needs to be an option to export both individual pages or a whole world as a PDF. I am someone who doesn't always have access to the internet when I am writing so having an saved PDF would allow me to access my notes during those moments.

  I see the draw of exporting an entire world into one PDF for simplicity and compatibility, but it seems a bit excessive and likely resource-intensive. Exporting individual pages as PDFs is a more straightforward approach. It's simple with most browsers and more accurate. Also, for AI training, using PDFs is a makeshift method for handling data outside the model. Models that are specifically fine-tuned and trained on our worlds are far more effective and precise, FWIW.

  I have to agree with JoellaKay on all points. I would rather see just an Article to PDF, something on a much small scale.

  I think that many worlds are much too large for a single PDF. Then, there's the complexity of handling the images and the css. And do you download it as it appears (some info in the database may not be displayed because of css and other things) or try to put all the data in the PDF? I'd rather the developers spend their time on other features we're waiting for.

  World Anvil has been incredibly valuable for the creation of my dnd world, but I live in fear one day a random copyright law, or a simple error code will see the eradication of hours and hours of writing not just for me but for hundreds of other creatives. The ability to download a world as a simple PDF would make that fear evaporate, like saving a work project.

  This feels like a thinly veiled excuse to make it easier to have AI write for you (which, I feel, is insulting to World Anvil's whole mantra of fostering creativity). Worlds have so much complexity that can only be held on the website (subscriber groups, members, css styling, privacy settings), and it would be impossible or ridiculous to convert this to pdf, especially if you want AI to be able to read it. If you want to use AI to literally write for you, you should be willing to do the bare minimum of copy-pasting your text.
