Can I export my Dropbox Paper docs as PDF?
Currently beta-testing dropbox paper.
The application integrated some of nice features from Hackpad (e.g. insert table), but still lacked insert link function. Will this be added in the future?

Dropbox StaffHi!
You should already be able to insert your Dropbox files via a link into Paper. You can do so in one of two ways:
- Paste the Dropbox shared link into Paper, this will generate a preview with the file
- Use the insert button in the left margin. For exact steps, see this Help Center article:
https://www.dropbox.com/help/9167
For PDFs, we don't have this feature right now but I can offer you a solution. If you use the print function in the paper menu, you can then use the preview to save the page as a PDF :)
Please consider adding a full PDF export as soon as possible. It is crucial in order to use Dropbox paper for scientific work. Also, Markdown export currently seems to hang (at the download popup).
Markdown export also hangs for me.
And docx export as well.
The only thing I can do is print to PDF...
- Please add real PDF export. It is crucial for science!
Hi Kaz!
I have tried to print the Paper doc to get a PDF file from it but it only prints the first page. How can I get a print of the whole document? Thanks.
I have seen this in firefox, too. Worked fine when I did it on Safari instead, though the margins were still disgusting and with seemingly no way to fix it to look even half decent on paper. Relying on the (crappy) browser for formatting is one of the reasons why PDF export is so urgently needed.
I love using paper for editing, but if I can't show my boss the results then it's not going to be useful for very long.
(btw - exporting to docx is useless when you have equations).

I downloaded the Dropbox Paper app. I wanted to export a document, but when I click the elipisis the option to export does not appear. Am I doing something wrong?
