Quick answer

Many IB forms export as PDFs straight from ManageBac+. Core forms (EE RPPF, TOK PPF) are generated from the year group's Extended Essay or TOK Essay tab, subject forms from the class, and all of a student's forms from Portfolio > eCoursework (Staff only) > Generate IB Forms.

For coordinators and teachers who need IB forms as PDFs, and want to know which forms ManageBac+ supports.
