Would you like to keep a digital copy of your reminders list in PDF format? Or maybe you want to send a soft copy of your shopping list to your roommate who doesn’t own an Apple device? Fortunately, with a recent update, you can now easily save reminders lists as PDF files directly from your iPhone or iPad.

In the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS, users have the ability to print and save reminders lists as PDF files on their devices. This feature comes in handy in various situations. For example, by saving your reminders as a PDF, you can share them with others even if they don’t have an Apple account—something that the existing sharing feature in the Reminders app doesn’t allow. Additionally, this gives you a way to back up your reminders on non-Apple devices.

How to Save Reminders Lists as PDF from iPhone & iPad

Before proceeding, ensure that your device is running at least iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5, as this functionality isn't available on earlier versions. Once your device meets the requirements, follow these steps:

1. Open the built-in Reminders app from your iPhone or iPad home screen.
2. After opening the app, all your reminder lists will be displayed under the "My Lists" section. Choose the list you wish to save as a PDF file.
3. Tap the triple-dot icon located in the top-right corner of the screen.
4. From the menu that appears, select “Print.” No need to worry—you won’t actually be printing anything out.
5. On the Print Options screen, you’ll see a preview of the page. Long-press on the preview to zoom in.
6. Next, simply tap on the enlarged preview to move forward.
7. This action reveals a hidden share option. Tap the share icon in the upper right-hand corner to open the iOS sharing menu.
8. Scroll to the bottom of the sharing options and choose “Save to Files.”
9. A file browser window will appear. Select the folder where you'd like to store the PDF and hit “Save.”

That’s all! You've successfully saved your reminders list as a PDF document.

As you can see, the process is quite straightforward, though it's unclear why Apple decided to hide the sharing option within the Print Options menu—many users may never discover it.

Storing your reminders as a PDF has several benefits. First, you can share the file with anyone, regardless of whether they use Apple devices or have access to iCloud. Second, if you don’t have an AirPlay-compatible printer, you won’t be able to use the direct print function, but you can transfer the PDF to your computer and print it there, or use your printer manufacturer’s software to handle the print job.

Additionally, if you do own a printer that supports AirPlay, you can also explore how to print reminders lists directly from your iPhone or iPad without generating a PDF. Besides these new features, the Reminders app also offers sorting capabilities, allowing you to organize your reminders manually or by date, priority, or title.
