STEP 2 · INSIDE
What’s inside the export
Your exported PDF is formatted specifically for clear readability on A4 paper or mobile screen viewports, styled with an elegant scalloped border and crisp typography.
| Section | What appears on the page | Design Highlight |
|---|---|---|
| Cover Page | Trip title (e.g. “Trip to Phuket Town”), high-resolution hero photo, travel dates and duration pill (e.g. “16 Sep to 19 Sep 2026 ( 4 Days)”), and creator avatar badge with attribution (e.g. “Created by Toto Wolff”). | Violet-indigo gradient with scalloped white border, circular Getaway logo stamp, and uppercase TRIP ITINERARY header. |
| Day Header & Theme | Date and day pill badge (e.g. Wed 16/9 · Day 1), followed by your custom day theme or title (e.g. “Day 1 : Cafe Hopping and Experience Culture”). | Bold title styling with high-contrast day badges. |
| Place Cards | Numbered place badge (1, 2, 3), official venue name, thumbnail photo, concise description, verified Google star rating (e.g. 4.0 ★★★★☆ on Google), full street address, and phone number. | Clean two-column card layout with crisp typography. |
| Custom Notes Callout | Specific reminders and instructions attached to places, such as NOTE: Carry your Ids or reservation booking codes. | Highlighted rounded callout box inside the place block. |
| Transit & Distance Badges | Consecutive travel estimates between stops, displaying walking time and driving distance/duration (e.g. 🚶 4 min · 🚗 302 m / < 1 min or 🚶 1h 26m · 🚗 7.2 km / 11 min). | Soft blue pill badge between place cards. |
| Daily Route Map Snapshot | A rendered graphic map snapshot showing all numbered stops (1, 2, 3) plotted along street routes with neighborhood labels (e.g. Krabi Rd, Dibuk Rd, Yaowarad Rd). | Visual geographic route context right below the day’s itinerary. |
| Running Footer | Left-aligned trip title, center “Made with Getaway” attribution, and right-aligned page counter (e.g. Page 2 of 10). | Professional multi-page document pagination. |
No missing days: If a scheduled day has no activities planned, the PDF explicitly notes: “This day is empty. No places or notes added” so your traveling companions know it’s an open leisure day.
