+===== Exporting images =====
+gschem can export a schematic or symbol page to an image file.  To create an image file, use **File→Write image...** to show the "Write image..." window.  This window allows you to select the file to output to, the type of image to create, and (if necessary) the size of the image.
+If you select Portable Document Format to output, the "Width x Height" value will not be used.  Instead, the file will be sized to fit the visible contents of your schematic or symbol page.
+<note tip>If you wish to display the symbol schematic in a printed document, PDF is recommended.  For use on web pages or for presentations, consider PNG.</note>
