No print ready pdf option

[Morgan_Anne]

Hello ! I really need to print a booklet i'd created for university, but the university printers/computers dont have affinity, I saw that in the tutorials i've seen the people have been able to save their booklet in ready to print order from the print tab, but I don't see this option?

Hi @Morgan_Anne,
welcome to the Affinity forums!

Instead of printing to a file (e.g. via a 'print to PDF' option in the print dialog window *) you better export to PDF and use that file for printing. This gives you more flexibility with your detailed export settings than the print-to-PDF workflow.

* (on mac it is in the lower left corner / on Windows I assume it may require a separate installation)

I understand but thats what I'm asking to find the button for haha I'm going to assume its a seperate installation then since I'm on Windows and cannot find this option, but would you have any idea where I might be able to find this installation?

NO, the keyword here is Export, aka exporting as a PDF file then! - See ...
