I was out on the road when I was asked for a copy of a document. Which would have been simple if I’d been able to send a PDF as on Desktop. As it was, I couldn’t until I got home.
Unfortunately, sending Markdown doesn’t work as most people can’t use it and it loses embeds and formatting.
+1 to this. I think this is one of the basic things (from the user point of view) that must be covered over another more complex features, specially because there are other tool over there that already support this capability but obsidian being a so powerful tool doesn’t.
The problem though is all the obsidian-specific stuff is lost. I don’t understand why electron doesn’t allow printing of the view like how a browser prints to pdf
This feature request is specific to mobile, which doesn’t use Electron, it uses Capacitor. But idk the details of what it would take to support PDF export in the mobile app and whether or when the dev team will implement it. Using another markdown app for that is just a workaround, and as you note, not a fully satisfactory one.
+1 here.
I use Obsidian a lot for stuff that I want to send to others. PDF export on mobile / ios would be great. To be frank, even on Desktop it feels clunky. I just want to export it as seen in Preview Editor.
