With Casedo, you can export your case to PDF. You can choose to export them to include either all bookmarks, or double-sided printing, or both.
Before exporting your PDF, make sure that the documents you want to be included in your PDF are located in your Index and NOT in your Desk Space. Any documents in your Desk Space are for your private use only and do not form your bundle. Your Desk Space essentially acts as a holding area for your unsorted documents. Another exciting addition to the Table of Contents (TOC) feature, links are automatically added to the list items. You can now very simply add your Casefile annotations to the TOC, making it very easy to navigate the areas of the document you need.

What does ‘Export for double-sided printing’ mean in practise?
Assuming that a printer is capable of printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. Exporting for double-sided printing means that the next document in the casefile to printed is always begun on a new piece of paper. The end of one document and the beginning of the next will never be printed on the same piece of paper. Much as a normal bundle is printed.
To demonstrate this see below.
In the following image, you can see that there are 4 pages in ‘Document 1’ , it has an even number of pages. Thus, when printing there will be no blank pages and you will end up printing 2 pages that are double-sided.
In this next image, there are 3 pages in ‘Document 3’, ie. there is an odd number of pages. Thus, when printing there will be a page with only one side printed on and the other side will be blank.
N.B. If before exporting your bundle you created a TOC, then the TOC items will be automatically hyperlinked in the exported PDF. You can then simply click on the TOC items and it will take you to the relevant page in the PDF.
