Export & save

When to use this

You’ve finished arranging, editing, or signing a workspace and want the finished file.

Steps

Press ⌘E or choose File → Export.
Choose a format: PDF, DOCX, Markdown, plain text, HTML, PNG pages, or JPEG pages. Choose Print to send straight to a printer.
Pick a location in the save panel and confirm.

The Export dialog: Format set to PDF (.pdf), with Protect with password, Reduce file size, and Sanitize for sharing checkboxes, and Cancel / Export buttons. — The Export dialog — pick a format, toggle protection, compression, or sanitize, then Export.

Where did my file go?

Exactly where you chose in the save panel — there’s no hidden folder or upload step. If you’re not sure where you saved it, check the location shown in the save dialog before you clicked Save, or search Spotlight for the filename.

Note

Why it matters: every exported PDF passes a structural integrity check before it reaches disk — a broken file never gets written. If export fails, see Export & save problems.

Gami's tip

Sharing a final copy? Gami suggests locking form answers and baking stamps at export, so nobody “accidentally” edits your finished document.
