Pick what goes in, then choose **Print** to open a printable PDF, or **Download PDF** to save the file for a vet, registry, buyer or insurer. ## Open Download packet 1. Open the animal's [profile](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/your-animals-profile-page-the-tabs-and-what-each-one-does-nsi15b/) and choose **Records**. 2. Choose **Download packet**, in the row with **Add record** and **Import records**. **Download packet** shows for signed-in owners and co-owners (including members of an owning organization), people who manage the animal's records, and current stewards with verified email addresses when the plan has **Show private records to stewards** turned on. Visitors don't see it. ## Choose what goes in **Quick pick** fills in the sections for you: - **Vet visit** ticks the available **Identifiers**, **Health records** and **Care records** sections and turns on **Include private records**. Check **About this packet** for any entries omitted by packet limits. - **Everything** ticks every section that has entries. Private records stay out until you turn them on. ![Download record packet on a phone with Vet visit chosen, so Health records and Care records are ticked](https://cdn-test.creatures.com/be0/b13/bfe/35d27.png?width=780) Then adjust **Include**. Tick a section to include its entries; untick it to leave them out. Most sections show entry counts, including private entries, such as **Health records (4, 2 private)**: - **Registrations**: registry names, registration numbers and details. - **Titles**: official titles awarded by associations on Creatures. - **Identifiers**: identifying numbers, such as ear tags and microchips. - **Show results**: shows, classes, results and judges. - **Pedigree**: three generations of public ancestors. It is left out for a private profile. - **Health records**: vaccinations, medications, exams, procedures, test results and health checks. - **Care records**: weights and measurements, routine care and sheds. Feedings and milkings are not in the packet. - **Breeding records**: breeding, pregnancy, birth and reptile sale-readiness records. - **Certifications & documents**: saved pedigree records, certifications, insurance and genetic evaluations. - **Reminders & notes**: recorded reminders and other notes. - **Attached files index**: file names from the records you include. The files themselves are not in the PDF. - **Ownership history**: current owners and ownership changes. Sections with nothing in them are listed under **Nothing recorded yet** instead. Turning on **Include private records** also ticks sections containing only private entries. Review **Include** and untick anything you don't want to share. ## Private records **Include private records** shows when the animal has private entries, with their count. It includes private records, identifiers and show results you can access in the sections you select. Anyone who holds the PDF or a printout can read them, so share it with care. When it is off, the packet says how many private records were left out. ## Record detail and paper size - **Record detail**: **Summary** keeps health and care in short tables and lists other records by date. Evaluation reports always print in full. **Full** prints every field and note, so the packet runs longer. - **Paper size**: the PDF's page size. Choose **Letter** or **A4** to match your printer's paper. It starts on **Letter** for time zones in the Americas or an unknown time zone, and **A4** elsewhere. ![Include private records turned on above Record detail, Paper size and the Print and Download PDF buttons](https://cdn-test.creatures.com/e49/b96/983/40e04.png?width=780) Your browser remembers your choices for next time, including the sections you untick. **Include private records** starts off again unless your last choice was **Vet visit**. ## Print or download - **Print** opens the PDF in a new tab. Print from there with your browser's print button. In Safari on an iPhone or iPad, open **Share** from the toolbar or page menu, then choose **Print** (scroll if needed) and select your printer. If your browser blocks the new tab, the panel asks you to allow pop-ups. Allow them for Creatures and try again, or use **Download PDF**. - **Download PDF** saves the PDF to your device and closes the panel. If nothing is ticked, both buttons stay off and the panel shows **Choose at least one section.** ## What the PDF looks like The PDF starts with the animal's details, then the sections you chose. **About this packet** records who made it and when, private-record counts, omissions (including packet limits), and a code for the live record. ![First page of a record packet with Isla of Glen Lyon's photo, name, breed line and At a glance box above her health records](https://cdn-test.creatures.com/7b2/518/7fd/5edad.png?width=1600) ## Looking for something else? - **Print a tracking sheet**, in the **Records menu**, prints a blank log page to fill in by hand, with columns such as date, food, weight and notes. Bring the filled-in pages back with **From photos of your notes**. - **Reports** puts many animals, such as your whole herd or a group, in one PDF or spreadsheet. On your **Dashboard**, choose **Care** under **Animals & Groups**, then **Reports**. A group's page has a **Reports** button too. - To print a family tree, use **Printable pedigree** when you share the pedigree. See [Pedigree, family, and lineage](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/pedigree-family-and-lineage-ni84mj/). - A [Creature Card](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/creature-cards-your-animals-shareable-card-9wkw7e/) is a shareable card with the animal's photo and a few details. It doesn't hold records. ### Related information - [The animal records tab](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/the-animal-records-tab-leeb9e/) - [Adding a record](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/adding-a-record-19abyub/) - [Public, private, and reference animals](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/public-private-and-reference-animals-vvbyse/)
