NOTE  While the conversion process is quick, it is dependent on the size of the microapp. Very large microapps will take longer to process.

FAQ

  1. My pdf export doesn’t represent the content of my microapp, is that expected?
    1. If you notice that your PDF file doesn’t have all the microapp pages (or maybe more), don’t hesitate to contact us at support@tiled.co and we will make sure to investigate and assess the behavior of the export.
  2. How are the microapp pages, states, and overlays ordered in the PDF download?
    1. Microapps are meant to be non-linear, meaning you can build page that is linked to several pages, states and overlays. PDFs are linear and require an order hierarchy to organize your microapp. The order hierarchy will display all pages (and its states if there are any), and then all overlays. 
  3. How will GIFs, videos, and embedded web browsers display on the PDF?
    1. GIFs, videos, and embedded web browsers may or may not display a thumbnail depending on the security configuration of the embedded content.
  4. Can I download a personalized instance?
    1. Yes! If you have created an instance of a microapp with personalization, you will have the ability to download just that instance into a PDF.
