  Could you expand on that, I’m curious because export to PDF has always worked flawlessly for me.

    I was helping someone and both export and print to pdf messed up different minute aspects of the design/layout. I don’t remember what exactly it was tho

  Print to pdf generally loses the text and just makes it an image though. Which can balloon size and prevent ctrl+f without running ocr on it and saving an additional layer with more mistakes than the original.

    Are you sure you don’t have “print as image” enabled there? It should keep it as a layered PDF, not rasterizing.

      I probably did. Think I’ve had some things not print correctly without that on an actual printer so I turned that on sometimes?

        I deliberately use the print as image feature if I don’t want someone to be able to select text or search the document (like if I’m sending something with sensitive info as an attachment to an email). Most of the time, I have that option disabled so the document can be searchable and text can be copied from it.
