This article describes how to export an interactive parts Book to PDF format for download, as well as how to export Pages and Chapters.

Note: Pages can be exported in PDF or PLZ format

Exporting interactive content is beneficial for users who require a hard-copy or offline access to content.

7. Once the export is complete , click the blue download link.
8. The export will download to your computer. 

The Job Manager

All exported content must be retrieved from the Job Manager (Account > Job Manager). When using the Job Manager, consider the following: 

• The Job Manager displays all submitted Export and Publisher jobs in a list.
• All Export and Publisher jobs are user-specific.
• Every job will have an associated icon representing its status.
• To refine the Job Manager results, you can:
  • Filter by Type or Status
  • Or, browse previously submitted jobs using the pagination options at the bottom left
• For large export jobs such as books, your export may still be processing when you are redirected to Job Manager. While the Export is processing, users can perform other actions in the Library and check on the status of a job at a later time by navigating to Account > Job Manager.
