Example: Checklist Maker

Make a three-item packing checklist.

You add
Title: Weekend packing list. Items: Phone charger, Travel documents, Water bottle, one per line.
You get
A one-page checklist.pdf with the title and three empty boxes. The copyable result contains three lines beginning [ ].

Supported inputs and limits

The title is limited to 80 characters and each of 1–60 items to 120 characters. This export is deliberately restricted to basic printable English text; accents, emoji and other scripts are refused. The PDF adds pages as needed. Boxes are for marking by hand, not interactive PDF fields. This page does not save or sync a checklist.

How items fit on paper

Long items wrap within the page width. When a page runs out of room, the next item starts on another sheet under a continued title. The PDF stays a simple list, so you can change the order by editing the input lines and making another copy.

Questions about Checklist Maker

Will choosing a template erase my list?

Choosing alone does nothing. Pressing Load selected template replaces the current title and items, so copy anything you want to keep first.

Can I tick boxes on this page?

The PDF contains empty print boxes. You can mark them on paper; the page does not keep a checked state.

Why was a character refused?

The current export accepts basic printable English text only. Replace accented letters or emoji with plain English text before exporting.

What happens to blank lines?

They are skipped, so only written items get boxes.
