We are working to improve the PDF export experience. We are currently working on the following issues:

  • Page order—If you export more than one page to PDF, they might be displayed in alphabetical order instead of the order in the interface.
  • Interface update—The export interface options are changing, so these instructions might not match them exactly.
  • Known limitations—PDF exports are not always completed successfully.
