Exporting from Freeform

TidBITS Talk

My 5 year old granddaughter has really taken to Freeform.

As a consequence, I have almost 60 of her drawings filling up my iPad.

Is there a way to export her drawings (or even printing them) tthat doesn’t involve iCloud? So far I haven’t found one.

At the moment I reduce the size of the image so that the tools don’t cover any parts and then screenshot. then export from photos to another Mac. Its just cumbersome.

Thanks

You can export to PDF and save them to files on your iPad

but where is the export command?

There isn’t one on my iPad.

In the document tap the the Actions Menu button next to the document name, you will see a menu with:
rename
favourite
export as PDF
print

Thanks. I hadn’t spotted the arrow, but that’s another example of inconsistency in UI design.

You are not alone! My gripe is that the page layout of the resulting PDF doesn’t seem to be user-configurable. For example, no ability to resize the image or set page breaks. But maybe I have missed something?
