Import and Export Formats:

Export-Only Formats:

Import

Import a file by dragging and dropping the file onto the Presentation Prompter app icon, or with File ‣ Open… ⌘O and select the file.

Export

Export a file with File ‣ Export… ⌘⇧E. The export dialog notifies you about possible compatibility issues with the selected file format. You can preview what the exported document will look like before saving with the Preview button.

The “Simplify export style” checkbox soft-reformats the exported document for import into another app, like a word processor. The Preview button reflects how this option affects the export.

File export sheet

Export as PDF

File ‣︎ 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:

Export as PDF is only available on macOS 10.13 or newer. Users on older macOS releases can use File ‣ Print ‣ Save as PDF to create paginated PDFs without any of the special features.
