Generating PDF Reports

Dermi Atlas generates PDF reports directly from a patient's record, for a referral, a records transfer, or an internal review. Each report opens as a print-ready preview in a new browser tab and is saved as a PDF file from the browser.

Only Clinician accounts can export PDF reports. An Assistant account that opens a report page sees "Export restricted" in place of the report.

Opening a Report

Reports are started from the More Options menu of a patient's pages, and from the Session Details drawer for a single full body session:

Patient Details: Export Details, Export Image Pool, Export Full Body, and Export Full Report
Clinical entry: Export Entry
Image Pool: Export Image Pool
Full Body Photography: Export Full Body
Session Details drawer: Export Session

Patient Details page options menu showing the PDF export actions — The Patient Details page options menu expanded, showing the PDF export actions listed with their respective icons.

Clinical Entry page options menu showing the Export Entry action — The Clinical Entry page options menu expanded, showing the Export Entry action.

Export Details opens its report directly. Every other action first opens the PDF Export Options drawer, which sets how annotations appear in the report:

Annotations on individual images: a checkbox, selected by default
For reports that include comparisons: As arranged (the visibility each comparison was saved with), All annotations shown, or All annotations hidden

The drawer starts from these defaults every time, whatever is shown on screen. Select Export PDF to open the report.

Export Full Report opens the PDF Export Options drawer, and Export PDF renders the Complete Patient Report preview with its Save as PDF control.

Image Pool Report

Every image of the patient, with its file name, caption, date, and tags. Images are grouped under Full Body Photography (by session and zone), then Zones, then Individual Images for those not held in a zone. An image in more than one zone appears under each.

Full Body Photography Report

The patient's full body photography across visits:

Patient ID, name, Patient Since date, and the number of sessions and lesions on record
A lesion summary
Each session with its zones and images

Full Body Photography Session

One full body session:

Patient ID, name, and session date
Pose coverage, such as "12 of 14 poses"
A summary of the lesions documented in the session
The session's zones and images, its notes, and any skipped poses

Complete Patient Report

The whole record in one document, for a referral, a second opinion, or archiving:

Report Contents: the four sections with their counts
Section 1: Patient Details: as in the Patient Details Report
Section 2: Full Body Photography: the lesion summary and each session
Section 3: Image Pool: as in the Image Pool Report, with full body images summarized in one line that points to Section 2
Section 4: Clinical Entries: each entry in full, most recent first, numbered

Each section and each entry starts on a new page.

The PDF Preview

Every page of the report carries a header with the Dermi Atlas logo and the provider who generated it, and a footer with "Confidential Medical Record", an Export ID, and the date and time of export. When the export options hid annotations that the records carry, the footer also says which were hidden. The layout is fixed, and everything in the chosen scope is included.

A banner above the report holds the Save as PDF button, the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+P, or Command+P on a Mac), and a reminder to let every image load before saving. The banner does not appear in the saved file.

Save the File

Select Save as PDF in the banner, or press the keyboard shortcut.
In the browser print dialog, choose Save as PDF as the destination.
Choose a location and save.

The suggested file name holds the report type, the date, and a short identifier, such as Atlas-Clinical-Entry-Report_2026-04-13_a1b2c3d4, and can be changed before saving.

Desktop Chrome and Edge give the most consistent result. In Safari, a banner on the preview recommends one of those browsers or the File => Export as PDF command in Safari on a desktop.

Reports in the Activity Log

When the deployment records comprehensive activity (the default audit logging level), each opened report adds an entry to the Patient Activity Logs, under the Reports filter, with the report type, the export options, and the Export ID printed in the footer. The entry is added when the preview opens.
