- The deep research facility of CHATGPT can now export reports as PDFS
- PDF is complete with tables, images and quotes
- This update makes the research of chatgpt in other devices collection, sharing and even reuse.
I have spent a lot of time in experimenting with deep research feature of the chip, and I have produced all types of strange (though broad) reports. There has always been a remarkable difference in its functionality, however, so far. Openai has increased deep research facility with the ability to export your reports as a fully formatted PDFS. Any more chat link or screenshot is required that I have learned about George Monster Lake.
It is a small interface upgrade, but it seems that it should have been made in deep research from the beginning. It works like this. You create your deep research report or draw one some time ago, then click on the share icon at the top of the page. You will see that the general ‘share link’ button is now downloaded as a partner ‘PDF’ button. One click and your report will be fully formed in your download folder, quotes-rich PDF.
This export option is not universally available at the moment. You will need a subscription for the Chatgpt Plus, Team or Pro. Enterprise and education users do not yet have, but Openai said it is coming soon. This is good, because the students and professionals are among those who will bet that intensive research will be the most used.
Deep PDF
You can now export your deep research reports as well as prepared PDFS-with tricks, images, linked quotes and sources. It works for both new and previous reports. pic.twitter.com/kecir4teneMay 12, 2025
With downloadable PDF, you can eventually do everything you will expect to do with your research. This may mean that it is placed with other research projects, shared with teammates of the team, or simply attached it to an email, which you are going to win.
So yes, this is just a PDF button. But it is a PDF button that decides what was one of the more disappointing aspects of the chat. Now, with downloadable PDF, you can eventually do all the things that you will expect to do with your research: store it, share it with teammates, attach it to an email, or even – it’s my new favorite – upload it to another AI.
Yes true. With PDF in hand, I popped it into Gemini’s Notebook Pill, Google’s my experimental research assistant. Suddenly, AI was summarizing my deep research report, making flashcards, and suggesting the related reading. Then I tried to upload the same PDF to the podcast tool and got an AI-related episode script from it. Which means, in a roundabout manner, Chatgpt became just a content pipeline. One that exports research and gives other devices remix to whatever format it needs.
And this is a big thing.
Because the more equipment we use, the more we need bridges between them. Openai does not need to be everything app, but it needs to be interopeable. Giving a PDF option to users is a less hanging fruit, of course, but it is also a fruit that lets you bake a completely new pie. This makes deep research portable. It gives it a leg. This means that I do not have to keep 14 tabs open to refer to a well organized writing on the history of Japanese vending machines.
Of course, the implementation of Openai still has quirks. It is a bit confusing that “Download as PDF” option is not in the main chat share menu. Most people will assume that this is not until they know where to click. And for a company whose entire pitch is about reducing friction and increasing clarity, it seems strangely off-brand to bury it behind another share icon. Nevertheless, I will take me a little hidden but completely functional “on” completely missing “on any day.
More importantly, this change gives some more indication: Openai is listening. Probably not always hurry. Probably not always spontaneously. But enough people have clearly asked for this (or shouted about it on the Redit) that it finally happened. And in a product landscape, where most updates feel like the AI model that Aristotu has briefly argued, it is refreshed to achieve a feature that solves a real -world problem.
