export as pdf
« on: June 10, 2022, 06:20:08 PM »
Would it be possible to consider export to PDF in future?

It is nice to give clients an overview of images via PDF. This is often done in Lightroom, c1 and even Bridge.

But it would be nice to select images and do this in Photo Mechanic too.

What are you looking to have on the PDF?

You can currently create a PDF of selected items as a Contact Sheet (grid of images), or as proofs (one image per page) with any metadata that can be gotten from a variable, by using the print utility to output to a PDF. Both operating systems offer a similar option when printing.

Oh, sorry how does one even do this then?

I can't find PDF mentioned in the manual

Or in any of the menus in PM

Here is a quick 1:13 video showing how it is done on macOS.  What platform are you on?

If your version of macOS is different than mine, you can see this described on different macOS versions here:

Thanks Mick!

I guess my feature request would extend to basic theming/branding for clients.
Logo, page color etc..

Maybe a small block of custom text other than the footer for contact details.
