Exports to PDF and Word
When a page is exported, each variable is replaced with its value as ordinary text, so the document reads the same as the page.
#What each export shows
Export | What appears |
|---|---|
The value as plain text | |
Word | The value as plain text |
Any other export type | [unavailable] |
A macro with no variable chosen | Nothing |
#Whose permissions apply
The value is read as the person exporting, using their own permissions. If they cannot view the variable, the export shows [unavailable] in its place. Anonymous exports also show [unavailable].
User values print the person's display name. The account ID is never printed; if the name cannot be found the export says Unknown user.
#A few things that catch people out
Two people exporting the same page can get different documents if one of them cannot view a variable.
Dates print as 14 Oct 2026, the same as on the page.
An exported file is a snapshot. It does not update when the variable changes; export again.
