Arcadia Publisher turns any note into a polished, shareable document. Export the active note to PDF or HTML with print-ready typography, embedded images, an optional table of contents, and a frontmatter title block, all from the ribbon or the command palette. Exports are self-contained: images are embedded directly in the output, so the file you send is the file people see.
Desktop only. PDF rendering uses the desktop app's built-in print engine.
Features
- PDF export of the active note
- HTML export (single self-contained file)
- Embedded images (markdown and wiki-style embeds)
- Frontmatter title block (title, author, date)
- Table of contents with working anchor links
- Page size (Letter or A4) and font options
- Export modal, ribbon icon, and commands
The plugin is free, with no account, no license key, and no time limit.
