Exporting as PNG and PDF
For everyone who does not have nexcanvas open, there is the board as a picture or a PDF. Anyone who can read the board may do this.
The Export window
In the board's menu, Export opens the window. If you have selected something, it also works through Export selection in the context bar.

What the result looks like
nexcanvas draws at double size so that it stays sharp on big screens; the longest side is at most 8,000 pixels. The result is as light or dark as nexcanvas looks to you right now. If you want a light PDF to print, switch to light beforehand.
Cora saysA PDF from nexcanvas is made of picture pages. That suits sending and printing well, but you cannot copy text out of it.
