PDF Reports and Verification
Export governance reports as professional PDF documents with SHA-256 content verification, git commit context, table of contents, watermarks, bookmarks, password protection, and attached raw JSON for independent verification.
Governance reporting often needs to leave the tool. Architecture review boards, compliance auditors, and external stakeholders need evidence in a portable format. NeoArc exports governance reports as professional PDF documents with built-in verification features that prove the report was generated from a specific workspace state at a specific time.
PDF Export Pipeline
The report PDF pipeline renders each report section individually, then merges them into a single document with professional post-processing.
Verification Features
The verification page at the end of every governance report PDF provides the evidence chain an auditor needs.
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Project Name and Description | Identifies which workspace the report covers |
| Generation Timestamp | When the report was generated (ISO 8601) |
| Git Branch | Which branch the workspace was on at generation time |
| Git Commit SHA | The specific commit the workspace was at, providing a reproducible reference point |
| Git State (Clean/Dirty) | Whether there were uncommitted changes at generation time |
| SHA-256 Content Hash | A hash of all report data, computed using deterministic JSON serialisation. Anyone with the attached JSON can recompute and verify this hash. |
| NeoArc Studio Version | The version of the tool that generated the report |
Document Features
Governance report PDFs share the same post-processing capabilities as NeoArc's site publishing PDF pipeline.
Theme Support
Report PDFs can be generated in light or dark theme. The print view reads the theme from query parameters, and the report theme service provides the appropriate colour palette for charts and visual elements. Both themes maintain readability in print.
