Save PDF files from the ESHA Cloud to your Mac computer

There are three options for saving pdf records from your cloud Genesis R&D to your local Mac:

• Save the PDF files directly during printing
• Save to the cloud Personal Share (P:) or Company Share (S:) drives and use the PDF viewer to save those files locally
• Save to the cloud Personal Share (P:) or Company Share (S:) drives and use the File Explorer in Remote Desktop to copy them to your local drive

Save directly during printing

1. Go to file > Save as PDF 
2. Browse to a folder on your local computer. This is often time-consuming on a Mac and can cause your program to freeze or slow down.
3. Click Save.
