Hi all,

This is probably a very basic question, but I can't find the answer in the doc or the archive.
I want to export my app's document to PDF/HTML, so I implemented the NSExportableAs key as described in
file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/ Conceptual/Documents/Tasks/FAQ.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000954
(BTW is it possible to do that in Xcode, instead of changing the info.plist file directly?)


Then I actually get an accessory view in the save panel, but the two new formats are greyed out in the popup menu and can't be selected! I don't understand why: is there something else to do to export in a different format?

Also a side question: do you think it's a good idea to use "Save as", taking into account that my app can't read the PDF/HTML files back? Maybe an "export" menu item would be clearer, but in that case, is there a simple way to run the save panel with the appropriate format selected?

Have you tried adding a "Save Copy As..." (or "Export" or whatever) menu item and connecting it to First Responder's -saveDocumentTo: action method? By default, "Save As" is connected to -saveDocumentAs:, which isn't quite the same thing.


Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jeremy
