About This Feature
Overview
Collaboration Export to PDF in WPS on iOS lets you convert the current presentation into a PDF file for viewing, sharing, and archiving while keeping page layout stable across devices.
During export, you can choose either a standard PDF or an image-based PDF. A standard PDF works well for regular reading and sharing. An image-based PDF is more suitable when you want to reduce direct text copying. After export, you can choose the save location and file name, and WPS opens the generated PDF automatically.

| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you open a presentation, go directly to Export to PDF, choose either a standard PDF or an image-based PDF, save the file locally, and open it after export. | Microsoft Support says PowerPoint on mobile can export a file as PDF after you open the file, tap the three-dot menu, choose Export, select PDF, and save it. The official page does not describe an image-based PDF option. | Google says the Google Slides app for iPhone and iPad can export presentations as PDF or PPTX. The official help page focuses on basic file export and sharing. | Notion officially supports exporting pages or databases as PDF on mobile, but the workflow is designed for page content rather than slide editing and presentation export. | Adobe Acrobat officially focuses on preparing existing PDFs for presentation, such as full-screen mode and page transitions, rather than exporting a presentation file directly to PDF from a slide editor. |

Distinct: WPS provides both standard PDF and image-based PDF output options. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft supports mobile PDF export, but the official instructions do not show separate standard and image-based PDF choices. | Compared with WPS: Google supports PDF export on iOS, but the official page does not mention an image-based PDF option for reduced text copying. | Compared with WPS: Notion can export to PDF, but it is centered on pages and databases instead of presentation output. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more suitable for presenting and adjusting finished PDF files than for exporting slide files directly to PDF. |
