Printing Your Storyboard

You can output your digital storyboard to a PDF, a printable file format that is equally easy to distribute digitally to others. By default, each page will print three panels per page (with captions) in a Horizontal Workspace or Vertical Workspace.

You can also secure your digital storyboard by giving your PDF file a password and restricting certain features such as printing and editing. When files have restricted features, any tools and menu items related to those features are dimmed. For more information, refer to Adding Security to Your PDF Document.

Furthermore, you can customize the workspace of your PDF output and add new workspaces. For more information, refer to Adding a New PDF Page Layout.
