Share or export a document

The toolbar's Share button shares the original file. To share a rendered copy, export a PDF or Word document first.

Page Settings

Choose File → Page Settings… (Shift–Command–P) to select paper size, orientation, and scale for PDF and Word exports from the current window. Choose OK to accept or Cancel to leave settings unchanged. The default is A4 portrait at 100%.

These settings last until the document window closes. They do not change the reading layout or individual diagram sharing. Word and PDF may place page breaks differently.

Export a PDF

Choose File → Export as PDF…, the toolbar's Export → Export as PDF…, or Command–Shift–E.

Text stays selectable, and supported diagrams and mathematics stay sharp when enlarged. Viewer zoom does not change the PDF layout. Headings become clickable contents entries; in Apple's Preview, choose View → Table of Contents. No extra contents page is inserted.

Supported document structure, language, and authored descriptions are retained. The result still depends on the source document's descriptions and structure; export is not a guarantee of complete accessibility.

Export a Word document

Choose File → Export as Word… or Export → Export as Word…, then save the .docx file.

Text, headings, lists, tables, and common equations remain editable. Headings work with Word's Navigation Pane and its table-of-contents command. Mermaid diagrams remain scalable graphics; their individual shapes are not editable Word flowchart objects.

Word controls reflow and pagination. Use PDF when a fixed page layout matters. Footnotes appear as linked notes at the end, and code keeps a monospace style without syntax colors. If an image or diagram cannot be exported, GlyphGlance explains the problem instead of silently omitting it.

Both formats include the document title and export dates. Optional Apple Intelligence information can be reviewed in Info before exporting. Word places the summary in its Comments property; Preview shows PDF Subject and Author, but does not display the separate summary.
