Export to PDF

Guides what to check before saving a finished Rhetis deck as a PDF and how to troubleshoot export issues.

Rhetis allows you to export the final deck as a PDF file. PDFs are suitable for review, email delivery, archiving, and printing, but the exported file cannot be edited with Rhetis’s block editor.

Things to Check Before Exporting

  • Verify that the final deck has been fully generated.
  • Export only after all images have finished loading.
  • Ensure there is no clipped text, empty blocks, or placeholder phrases.
  • Check the units and sources of charts and tables.
  • If the file is for external distribution, confirm that comments, internal code names, and personal data are not exposed.
  • Set the browser zoom level to 100 % whenever possible.

Creating a PDF

  1. 1

    Open the final deck

    Open the project you want to export from the gallery or recent projects and confirm it is in the final deck state.

  2. 2

    Select PDF export

    Click the export button at the top. Do not click the same button multiple times while it is processing.

  3. 3

    Wait for rendering

    Rendering time depends on the number of slides and the amount of image data. Keep the tab open until the browser download starts.

  4. 4

    Open the file for inspection

    First check the first slide, slides with a lot of data, slides with many images, and the last slide. Verify the page count and order.

  5. 5

    Save to a safe location

    Include the project name and a version or date in the filename. Example: 2026_Q2_board_update_v3.pdf.

What to Verify in the Exported PDF

  • Whether the slide aspect ratio is preserved
  • That no pages are duplicated or omitted
  • That Korean and English fonts are not corrupted
  • That translucent elements and shadows are not too dark
  • That images have not turned into black boxes or empty areas
  • That links work if required
  • That printer margins and cutoffs are acceptable

When the Download Does Not Start

  • Check the browser’s download block indicator.
  • Disable pop‑up or new‑window blockers.
  • Wait until image and style processing is finished.
  • Refresh the page, reopen the final deck, and try again.
  • Open the same project in a different browser to verify.
  • Avoid clicking multiple times; wait for each operation to finish.

When Some Slides Are Cut Off or Empty

  • Return to the problematic slide and check for text overflow and empty image areas.
  • Export again after all web fonts and images have loaded.
  • Split very long tables or lists into two slides in the skeleton.
  • Verify that browser extensions are not altering page styles.
  • If the problem repeats, record the project name, slide number, browser, and time of occurrence.

Before sending a PDF externally, always open it locally once to confirm. Do not assume all slides are rendered correctly just because the download succeeded.
