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