Exporting · Feature

Send it back out, clean.

Export to Markdown, Word, or PDF. The output uses sweetdocs' clean default styling — consistent headings, readable body, no decorative junk. Not a recreation of whatever the source was, just a simple, professional digital document.

Click Export, pick a format, the file lands in your downloads.

What it actually does.

The pieces of exporting that matter, in plain English.

FORMATS

Markdown, Word, PDF.

Three formats, one button. Markdown (.md) for portability. Word (.docx) for sharing with a non-sweetdocs colleague. PDF for the printed file. The same writing comes out clean in any of them.

STYLING

Clean default styling, every time.

Headings are real Heading 1 / Heading 2 styles. Body is real body text. Bullets are bullets. No custom fonts, no weird spacing, no decorative cruft. Recipients get a professional doc that opens correctly in Word, Pages, Google Docs.

VERSION

Export any past version.

Need to send a snapshot from a week ago? Open the History panel, pick the version, hit Export. The download reflects that version's text, not the current draft.

FAITHFUL

What you see, what they get.

The doc on screen is the doc that exports. No surprise reformatting on the way out. The PDF reads the same on Mac, Windows, mobile. The .docx opens the same in every version of Word.

Who uses it for what.

Real situations this solves.

Writer

"My editor wants a .docx, not a Markdown file. I want to write in Markdown."

Write in sweetdocs. Click Export → Word. They get a clean .docx. They don't know (or care) you wrote in Markdown.

Founder

"I need to send the board the Q3 memo as a PDF for the meeting deck."

Hit ⌘⇧E → PDF. Same styling that reads on screen, rendered for print.

Migrator

"I want to leave sweetdocs (in theory) and take my docs with me."

Export to Markdown — your docs are portable plain-text files. Your writing isn't held hostage.

Lawyer

"I need a clean Word file to send a contract amendment to opposing counsel."

Export → Word. They get a clean doc, real Heading styles, no weird formatting drama from the import → edit → export cycle.

Questions worth asking.

The things people ask before they try it.

Which formats can I export to?
Markdown (.md), Word (.docx), and PDF (via the browser's print engine). Plain text and printable HTML are on the roadmap.
Will the Word export open cleanly in Microsoft Word?
Yes. The .docx uses real Word style names (Heading 1, Heading 2, Normal body, List Bullet, etc.), so Word opens it like any other doc. Same for Google Docs and Apple Pages.
What does the PDF export look like?
Identical to the on-screen styling, rendered for print: sensible margins, page numbers, real fonts. We use the browser's print engine, so the PDF is consistent across devices.
Can I keep my custom formatting on export?
No — and on purpose. Export always uses sweetdocs' clean default styling. If you want decorative formatting, edit the export in Word after.
Is the Markdown export pure Markdown?
Yes. Standard CommonMark + GFM (tables, strike-through, task lists). No sweetdocs-only extensions. Open the file in any other Markdown app and it works.
Can I export a doc that has shared images?
Yes. Images export inline as embedded base64 (Word) or referenced (Markdown). PDF embeds the images directly.

The other five.

Writing

A fast, calm place to write.

The editor doesn't get in the way. Headings, bullets, links, quotes. They just work. No toolbar circus, no setup. It looks like a real document while you write it.
