(thinking…)

PLEASE bring option to select pages of a Notebook to export to pdf back!!!!!!

When exporting a Notebook file to PDF in Notebook 23, it only gives option to name the file... no options anymore. PLEASE bring back the intermediate options window which allowed editing which pages to convert, titles, date, page orientation, etc.

In Notebook 22 and earlier, the "Export PDF" actually opened a Printer window. Because of that, we moved the print functionality to the Print menu option. Export turned into a pure "turn this file into a PDF" without the ability to target specific pages. We've received a LOT of feedback about losing that feature, but I suspect users don't know that they can still do it under Print. I want to make sure that the functionality under Print meets teachers' needs. Would anyone be willing to try the Print option in Notebook 23 and confirm whether it performs how you want?

    Please bring back the Export to PDF as it previous was. The Print option does not work as it does not generate a document on my computer to use. I see no option to select a save location when I use the print option.

    We've been using the print option in our district. All teachers strongly prefer the export pdf, with the option to select pages.

    Print to pdf MESSES up the pages - things get moved around and don't show in the right place, or highlighting glitches and covers things. These things didn't happen with the previous export to pdf settings options.

    You can choose the pages to print, yes, but I agree with Bruce Hartman, the quality of pictures is unacceptable.

    No... Print to PDF or just Print to a Printer in Notebook 23 lowers the resolution of any pics/snips so bad that you can not read it. So Print to PDF will not work.

    you used to select pages when exporting to .pdf. now it just takes the whole document.
