[Ipe-discuss] Vector tiling lines?

[Otfried Cheong]

There is no "Export as PDF" button because PDF is Ipe's *native* file format.  When saving your figure, simply use a file name ending with .pdf, and Ipe will save your figure as a PDF document.

Most Ipe users never create .ipe files, and keep all their figures in PDF format.

Cheers,
