FAQ

What should I do if the exported PDF layout looks different from the original document?

  1. Check whether the document uses fonts or special formatting that may not display consistently on mobile devices.
  2. Before exporting, review the page content, paragraph layout, and image positions.
  3. If the difference is still obvious, simplify complex formatting and export again.
  4. If layout accuracy is especially important, review and process the file again in an environment that is better suited for detailed layout checking.

What should I do if PDF export fails or shows an error?

  1. Check whether the current document is very large or contains many images and complex elements.
  2. Confirm that device storage, network status, and app permissions are all working normally.
  3. Close the document, reopen it, and try the export again.
  4. If export through Share fails, try Save As or Output to PDF instead.

Why do some PDF export methods require membership?

  1. Different entries provide different capability ranges.
  2. Exporting to PDF through Save As can be used for basic export.
  3. Some options in Share as PDF and Output to PDF, as well as Scan to PDF, are membership-related.
  4. If you need a restricted option, open the subscription page to review the available plans.

Can I edit the exported PDF directly in WPS?

  1. The exported PDF is mainly intended for viewing, sharing, and saving fixed-layout content.
  2. If you need to change the main text, go back to the original Writer document first.
  3. After editing the original file, export a new PDF again.
  4. This helps keep the content and layout more consistent.
