is that possible to add a function “share as PDF”. This function is very useful when I’m taking note after meeting and wanted to share the output to other people. also sometime I want to share some awesome note to my friend that not IT guys. I can simply open my Joplin apps, select the notes, share as pdf, then airdrop or send email to other one via my mobile.

I like this idea! I suspect it will be hard to implement on mobile, but maybe someone will be able to do it!
Can I start working on it?
I would also really like this!
I think we could convert the note to html, and from there convert it to pdf using pdf.js or a similar lib. Not sure how reliable it would be but it shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

This library seems to convert HTML files to PDFs... I would prefer to not add a new dependency, especially one used by so few projects though.
It looks like pdf.js only renders PDFs, but jsPDF is much more widely used (than react-native-html-to-pdf) and converts HTML to PDFs.
expo-print is another option. It seems to be able to convert HTML to PDFs.
Is there an option on mobile to convert to html first? Asking because I'm not seeing it yet.
No. The note is internally rendered as HTML in the previewer, though, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get HTML to give to expo-print.

I might have missed something, as I still can't share note as pdf with Joplin in Android.
Same goes for iOS, alas...
