Magazine Style PDFs for Meal Plans and Recipes

Magazine Style PDFs give your Foodzilla meal plans, recipe collections, and recipes a polished, editorial look designed around food photography and visual presentation.

The layout can include a front cover, Day on the Plan overview, recipe pages, and a nutrition summary, making it a great option when you want to present plans to clients in a more professional and visually engaging format.

Magazine Style PDFs are available on the Professional plan and above.

Magazine PDF Customisation Options

You can further customise the look of your PDF by adjusting options such as:

• Page background including beige, white, grey, darker tones, and soft colours

• Nutrition summary page

• Back cover page

• Cover photo

• Font style

• Accent colour

Magazine is one of the available PDF layout styles, so you can switch back to another layout at any time from the same PDF export screen.

Tips for Better Magazine PDFs

• Preview your PDF before sharing, especially if you are using PDF language translation.

• If a meal contains several recipes, consider turning off Show images in meal plan overview so all recipe names remain visible.

• Clients can export their own meal plan PDF from the mobile app or Client Web Portal only when PDF Export has been enabled for them under App Experience.
