Export a PDF that is ready to share

The source can look good on screen and still need a different page width. Start with the widest table, diagram or line of code.

Open PDF & Print Options

1. On Mac, choose File → Export PDF…, or open Share & Export near the document header. On iPhone and iPad, use Share & Export → Export PDF….
2. Choose paper size and portrait or landscape orientation.
3. Adjust margins, the PDF theme and header or footer options as needed.
4. Choose Preview to generate the pages.

Use the latest document

PDF export works from a snapshot. If you edit the note after opening the export flow, choose Use Latest Document before generating a new preview. Otherwise a correct-looking preview may represent an earlier version of the text.

Handle wide diagrams and tables

Try landscape and a suitable paper size first. If labels or code remain too small, simplify the visual or break it into an overview and detail. A wider page does not fix an unreadably dense diagram. Check long table cells and code lines as well as the first page.

Add a deliberate page break

Insert a page break where a new section should begin. In Markdown source, the explicit marker is:

<!-- telescopo:page-break -->

Page breaks affect pagination, so regenerate the preview after changing them. Do not insert repeated blank lines to force a page boundary.

Save and inspect

1. Review every generated page, including the final page. Check clipped content, tiny labels and unexpected blank pages.
2. Use Share PDF, Save PDF or Print PDF for the reviewed result.
3. Choose Save Print Settings to Document only if you want those settings written into the document’s YAML. Use as Default sets your local default separately.

Keep the Markdown source and attachments if another person will continue editing. A PDF is a finished reading copy, not a replacement for the source folder.
