Export as PDF
produces a PDF with layout-exact content as it appears in Prompt mode (the same line-endings, wrapping, etc.) that reflects your current settings. This allows proofing and reviewing a script anywhere a PDF can be viewed. The PDF can serve as a copy of a finalized script, or be annotated with notes and markup in PDF apps and utilities.
The PDF can be generated as a single large page (ideal), or with pagination for lesser PDF apps that might struggle with a single large page.
Exported PDFs include special features:
- Bookmarks (including any bookmark names) become the table of contents.
- A plaintext version of the document is included in a note for easier copy/extraction (since copying from a PDF is notoriously finicky).
- Settings used to create the PDF are included in another note (should you need to recreate the same environment later).
- Certain properties set under become part of the PDF metadata.
Export as PDF is only available on macOS 10.13 or newer. Users on older macOS releases can use
to create paginated PDFs without any of the special features.
