Considerations for "Export to PDF" feature

  • This is a desktop-only feature.
  • Tooltip pages which are hidden will not be exported.
  • It will not print a wallpaper if you have used one in your background. For example, in my case, one of the pages uses this image/wallpaper background. It will not print it.
