Exporting the Entire File

The file format options in the upper area of the File format box (HTML, XHTML, PDF, and Flash) always apply to the complete file. Using Flash or HTML causes each page of the Draw document to be exported as a raster graphic. After using this option, you will no longer be able to access individual objects on the page.

Flash reached its end-of-life on December 31, 2020. Thereafter, Adobe stopped all support, including security updates. As a result, Adobe strongly recommends uninstalling Flash Player, and major browsers have already removed it.

• Official End-of-Life: Adobe officially announced the end of support in 2017, and the final end-of-life date was December 31, 2020.
• Blocking and Removal: After that date, Adobe began blocking Flash content from running, and major browser vendors have either disabled or fully removed the Flash Player component from their products.
• Reasons for deprecation: The discontinuation was due to several factors, including the maturity of open standards like HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly, which offer better performance and security. Flash had persistent security vulnerabilities, and its performance was often poor, consuming high amounts of CPU and battery.

To export a multi-page Draw document as a series of web pages, choose File → Export and select HTML Document as the file type. The HTML Export wizard opens. Follow the prompts to create the web pages. If you wish, the wizard can generate a navigation aid to help in moving from page to page.

If you want to use the objects in other applications, select one of the Metafile formats (JPEG, PNG, BMP, and so on) in the lower part of the File format list (see Figure 124). With this type of export, only the currently active page is exported.
