# Export record to PDF

Today, I came back to the old functionality - <mark style="color:purple;">**Export to PDF**</mark>.

Previously, this feature only supported out-of-the-box entities like **Account**, **Contact**, **Lead**, **Opportunity**, **Quote**, **Order**, and **Invoice** but did not extend to <mark style="color:green;">**Custom entities**</mark><mark style="color:purple;">**.**</mark>

It's gratifying to see that this functionality has <mark style="color:green;">**now**</mark> been <mark style="color:green;">**implemented**</mark> for the <mark style="color:green;">**Custom Entity**</mark>**.**

For configuration, Open the **Sales Hub >** move to **App Setting** area > **Productivity tools.** Then choose the **"Conver to PDF"** and configure these entities to apply this functionality.
