3. Choose Export Option: Look for a "Export to PDF" or similar button—depending on your platform, it may appear in a menu or toolbar.

Tips & Best Practices

• Preview First: If your device supports previews, quickly glance through the layout and chosen fields before finalizing the PDF.
• Limit Images: Including too many high-resolution images can increase file size. Balance visuals with readability if you plan to share widely.
• Keep Data Accurate: Make sure your bottles have the correct details before exporting—this ensures the PDF is a reliable snapshot.
• Revisit as Needed: Update your exported PDFs periodically as your collection evolves or you acquire new bottles.
