If you’ve ever built a detailed Human Design and/or Astrology reading report on Bodygraph.com, you may have wondered:

“How do I download the full report as one file?”
“How can I keep a safe backup before pausing my subscription?”
“How do I send it for proofreading?”

Here’s the honest answer: there is no one-click full report download button.

But — and this is important — there are reliable workarounds. And in this article, I’ll walk you through them clearly, so you can choose the right method for your goal.

Why There Is No One-Click Export Button

Before we jump into solutions, it’s important to understand why the system works this way.

Reports Can Be Extremely Large

Some clients build reports that are 8,000–10,000 pages long.

These are not simple text PDFs. They often include: Charts, Graphics, Background images, Design elements, Dynamic illustrations.

Rendering a 10,000-page, image-heavy PDF in one go would likely crash most systems. Even commercial eBooks rarely reach that size — and they’re usually text-heavy. Bodygraph reports are much more dynamic.

The Smart Mapping System

The report editor inside Bodygraph.com is not just a design tool.

It uses intelligent page mapping:

• Pages are tagged by content

• The system selects relevant pages based on:

  • Date of birth

  • Birth location

  • Their Human Design and/or Astrology activations

• Only relevant content is rendered for each client

This is very different from a static PDF where all information is dumped into one file and the reader must figure out what applies to them.

Because of this dynamic structure:

• You cannot import PDFs from tools like Canva or Adobe Designs.

• You cannot export the entire report as a static universal document.

But….. you can work around it.

Method 1: Export Pages as JSON (Best for Backup & Subscription Pause)

✅ Use This If:

• You want a safe backup

• You plan to pause your subscription

• You want protection against accidental deletion

❌ Not Suitable For:

• Proofreading

• Sending visual PDFs to assistants

How It Works

Each page in your report can be exported individually as a JSON file.

A JSON file is not a PDF. It’s a structured code file. When re-imported, it recreates the page exactly as it was.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Duplicate Your Report First

Never work on your live selling report.

• Duplicate it

• Rename it (e.g., “Safe Copy – Backup Version”)

• Work only on the duplicate

This protects your live integration.

2.Export Pages One by One

For each page:

• Click the three dots

• Select Export Page

• The file downloads as a JSON file (not PDF or image)

• It’s automatically numbered (Page 1, Page 2, etc.)

Create a folder on your device named after your report and store all JSON files there.

Important Notes

• You must import into a blank page

• Importing overwrites existing content

• Page visibility settings are NOT exporting alongside the page contents, therefore after importing the pages, Page Visibly must be set accordingly

• Do not edit JSON files manually. Modifying the code can break compatibility

💡 Pro Tip

Export pages as you build them.

Instead of exporting 200 pages in one sitting, export each page once you’re happy with it. This saves hours later.

Method 2: Create a Visual PDF for Proofreading

✅ Use This If:

• You want a visual PDF

• You want to send content to assistants

• You need proofreading

• You want to reuse content elsewhere (e.g., Canva)

❌ Not Suitable For:

• Subscription pause backup, these exports can not be imported back

How This Method Works

You use:

• Page visibility controls

• The preview function

• Sectioned exports (in groups of pages, based on content)

Then combine multiple PDFs into one.

Why Sectioning Is Necessary

The heavier your design, the fewer pages you should export at once.

Recommended Limits:

Step-by-Step Process

1. Duplicate the Report

Again — never use your live version.

You will modify visibility settings, which can break client deliveries.

2. Hide Pages in Sections

Go to Grid View.

• Hide all pages except the first batch (e.g., first 50)

• Ensure visible pages are set to Visible for Everyone
  
  
  

3. Run Preview

• Use any birth data (since all pages are visible)

• Generate PDF

• Download

This gives you a partial PDF of visible pages.

4. Repeat for Remaining Pages

• Hide the first batch that you just downloaded.

• Unhide the next batch

• Preview and download again

Continue until all pages are exported.

5. Combine the PDFs

Use any free online PDF merger:

• Name files in order (1, 2, 3, 4)

• Upload

• Merge into one final document

Now you have your full visual PDF.

Important Limitation

This method only works for static text pages.

If your report uses shortcodes (dynamic content pulled from chart data):

• The preview will only render content for the selected chart

• You cannot export all variations at once

In that case:

• Export chart content from the Content Tool instead

• Proofread at the source level

Method 1 to export pages as json files (to keep design) alongside language export is best choice in this case.

The Smartest Workflow (Recommended)

If you’re building your own custom reports:

✔ Proofread your content BEFORE pasting into Bodygraph

✔ Export sections as you build report

✔ Keep JSON backups from the start

✔ Duplicate before experimenting

This saves massive time later.
