Export Paper doc to PDF

I downloaded the Dropbox Paper app. I wanted to export a document, but when I click the elipisis the option to export does not appear. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi rocketmanblamb, how is your Monday so far? 

     

    Can you open your Dropbox app instead, and search for the Paper document you want to export there? 

     

    You should be able to then click the three dots, then share and then export. Give it a go, and let me know how it goes.

    Hey rocketmanblamb, thanks for using Paper and happy Friday!

     

    Could you send me a screenshot of what you see on your end so that I can have a visual?

     

    Also, have you tried doing through a web browser instead of the mobile app?

     

    Keep me posted!

    I think I got this to work either through the App as you mentioned or through the web.  Still confusing it isn't possible in the Paper app itself I thought.

    Thanks
