Apple Freeform is one of the highlights of macOS 13 Ventura. Designed to boost “Creative Collaboration”, the app not only enables you to collaborate with the desired flexibility but also allows you to jot down thoughts, sketch, and plan ideas. And if the need arrives, you can also export the Freeform document as PDF on Mac for a more convenient document-sharing experience. That said, follow along to learn how it works:
Convert Freeform Document into PDF on Mac in macOS 13 Ventura or Later
Wondering why PDF is popular, well, there are multiple valid reasons. Whereas other text files tend to lose their formatting information, PDF files manage to retain all formatting and image information. Hence, they are able to show information with precision. That’s not all, you can also password-protect your PDF files to keep unauthorized access at bay.
Step 1. To begin with, launch the Apple Freeform app on your Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or later. If the app is not present in the dock, press the CMD+Space to bring up the Spotlight Search -> type in Freeform, and open it.
Step 2. Head over to the file that you would like to convert into a PDF.
Step 3. Click on the File menu located at the upper left corner of the screen.
Step 4. Choose Export as PDF.
Step 5. Now, give a suitable name to your document.
Step 6. After that, select a preferred destination and hit Export. And that’s about it! It will instantly export the file in PDF format. You can follow the same steps to convert more Apple Freeform documents into PDF.
