Making the thesis PDF

Click PDF in the toolbar of the thesis editor to build your thesis as a formatted PDF. It opens in a new tab, ready to download or print. Change anything and build it again: each PDF is made from what you last saved.

What the PDF contains
  • the title page and the approval (jury) page;
  • your statement, the abstracts in two languages and the preface;
  • the table of contents, with numbered sections and page numbers;
  • the lists of figures, of tables, and of symbols and abbreviations;
  • your chapters, with figures and tables numbered by chapter and citations in author–year form;
  • the reference list.
Templates

The template you chose when you created the thesis sets the layout of the front pages. Templates are available for Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Multimedia University and the University of Malaya. You can change it under Student Info.

Before the PDF

If an abbreviation you marked has no meaning yet, Thesis Manager shows the list of abbreviations first: enter the missing meanings, save, and click PDF again.

PDF credits

Writing your thesis is free. When PDFs are priced, each PDF uses a PDF credit: your remaining credits are shown next to the PDF button, and the price, and any free PDFs, are shown on the PDF credits page. With no credit left, clicking PDF takes you to that page. Building the same thesis again within a minute does not use another credit.
