FAQ
Why can’t I find the Export As entry on Mac?
- First confirm that you have opened a WPS Cloud Document.
- Check whether the Efficiency tab appears at the top, or whether the File Operations (☰) button appears in the upper-left corner.
- Look for the entry in the Efficiency tab and in File Operations → Export As.
- If the entry still does not appear, update to the latest version of WPS Office for Mac and reopen the document.
Why do I still need to choose Export as Online PDF or Export to Local when exporting a PDF?
- In the export panel, first set the export range and export content.
- After you click Export, choose the output method that matches your use case.
- If you need to distribute the file online or continue working with it online, choose Export as Online PDF.
- If you want to save the file to a local folder on your Mac, choose Export to Local.
Can I still edit the text after exporting as an image?
- After you export as an image, the document content is saved as an image file.
- The text in the image is no longer editable as document text.
- If you still need to revise the content, keep the original document or also export a Word file.
Where is the file saved after I export to Word (.docx)?
- When you run Export to Word (.docx), the system asks you to choose a save location.
- Select the local folder you want.
- After you click Save, go to that folder to find the exported .docx file.
- If you do not remember the location, export again and confirm the folder name before saving.
