Print and Export Reports

Use the AutoDoctor HTML report toolbar to print the full report, a summary view, or a single category, and understand how Markdown and PDF exports are produced.

Who This Is For

  • Users sharing a readable report with another person.
  • Operators creating clean evidence for tickets, audits, or change reviews.

What AutoDoctor Generates

Every full scan creates a report set in reports/:

  • AutoDoctor_Report.html: the main interactive report
  • AutoDoctor_Report.json: structured machine-readable report
  • AutoDoctor_Report.md: portable Markdown export
  • AutoDoctor_Report.pdf: generated automatically when Chrome or Chromium is available
AutoDoctor scan
  -> HTML report for interactive review
  -> JSON report for tooling and API-derived summaries
  -> Markdown report for lightweight sharing
  -> PDF report for print/archive workflows when Chromium is available

How the Toolbar Works

Open reports/AutoDoctor_Report.html and use the Print & Export toolbar at the top of the page.

Controls:

  • Preset: changes the intended audience for the print view
  • Category: narrows output to one report domain when category mode is selected
  • Print Full: prints the whole report
  • Print Summary: prints only summary-tier and metadata sections
  • Print Category: prints summary content plus one selected category
  • Export PDF: opens the browser print flow for the current filtered view
  • Export Markdown: opens AutoDoctor_Report.md

Before printing, AutoDoctor automatically expands collapsed sections so the printed copy includes the details that match the chosen view.

Presets

Preset Best for Default print mode What it emphasizes
Admin Technical review full Full detail and operational context
User End-user handoff summary High-level result and next actions
Compliance Audit/archive full Complete output with clean print formatting

Presets do not change the underlying data. They set the initial view so you can print faster with fewer manual changes.

Mode Includes Best use
full All summary and detail blocks Deep troubleshooting, support escalation
summary Meta + summary-tier sections only Quick status review, executive handoff
category Summary-tier sections plus one selected category Focused troubleshooting on one problem area

Category Guide

Current category filtering is built from the report sections generated by agent/AutoDoctor.ps1.

Category Typical sections included
rootcause Root cause findings, anomaly insights, correlation insights, sustained issues, transient issues, baseline deviations
system System information, system uptime
memory Memory status
disk Disk usage, SMART health, disk IO summary
network Connectivity, adapters
events Recent system errors
startup Startup programs
software Installed software
drivers Driver inventory
updates Windows Update status, security/cumulative updates, feature updates
validation Data integrity findings
execution Execution statistics
remediation Automatic remediation

PDF Export Behavior

There are two PDF paths to know about:

  1. During the scan, AutoDoctor tries to create AutoDoctor_Report.pdf automatically with headless Chrome or Chromium.
  2. Inside the HTML report, Export PDF prints the current filtered view from the browser.

The export function supports:

  • PrintMode: full, summary, or category
  • Preset: admin, user, or compliance
  • Optional category filtering for category-mode exports

Current default scan behavior uses:

  • PrintMode=full
  • Preset=admin

If Chrome is installed in a non-standard location, set:

$env:AUTO_DOCTOR_CHROMIUM_PATH = "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
  • For a fast non-technical handoff, use User + Print Summary.
  • For a ticket focused on one domain, use Admin + Print Category.
  • For evidence capture after remediation, print full and include Automatic Remediation.
  • For lightweight text sharing in email, use Export Markdown.
