When you export a document as PDF, Craft opens an export sheet with options for paper size, font size, and what to include in the output. The available toggles and defaults differ slightly between platforms.- macOS / iOS
- Web / Windows
| Option | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Paper Size | Dropdown (A4, Letter, …) | A4 |
| Font Size | Dropdown (Regular, …) | Regular |
| Hide Document Title | Toggle | Off (title is shown) |
| Show Page Numbers | Toggle | Off |
| Show Watermark | Toggle | Off |
| Hide Tags | Toggle | Off (tags are shown) |
| Use Style | Toggle | On |
| Dark Mode | Toggle | Off |
On Web and Windows, the Show Watermark toggle is on by default. Turn it off in the export sheet if you don’t want the Craft watermark on the bottom of the PDF. On macOS and iOS the watermark is off by default.

Sharing vs. exporting
- If you want to collaborate on a document, consider using Share Links instead of exporting. This allows others to view or edit the document in Craft.

- Choose Markdown or TextBundle for cross-platform compatibility.
- Batch export multiple documents for backups or migrations (Mac & iPad only).
