# Downloading a Standard as PDF

> Download the full text of a licensed standard as a PDF to keep for your records or share within your project team.

Once you've found the clause or section you need, you can download the full standard as a PDF to keep for your records or share within your project team.

## Where to find it

Open any standard from the [Standards Library](/docs/standards_library/overview) and look for the **Download as PDF** button in the top bar, next to **Table of Contents**. Selecting it downloads the complete standard, not just the section you're currently viewing.

<Note>
  PDF download is currently available for **Australian Standards (AS and AS/NZS)** only. Support for other standards is planned but not yet available.
</Note>

## What you get

The PDF is watermarked and tied to your organisation's subscription for that standard, in line with the licensing terms set by the relevant standards body. A few things worth knowing before you download:

* **Not every standard is downloadable.** Access to standards content comes in two license types — one allows viewing and searching only, and the other (a named-user license) allows printing and downloading. If your organisation's license for a given standard is the view-only type, the download won't include a usable PDF.
* **Downloaded copies are watermarked and device-locked.** A PDF you download won't open if it's moved to another device or a shared drive.
* **Copies need to be removed when a subscription ends**, and standards content can't be shared outside your organisation's licensed users.

<Warning>
  These are licensing terms set by the relevant standards body, not a Calcs.com policy choice — they apply regardless of which plan your organisation is on.
</Warning>

For the full terms, see our [third-party standards licensing terms](https://calcs.com/third-party-terms).
