I decided to use XMind instead of Visio to create a large web page map at work. It was great creating, but now that I'm trying to convert it into my spec document, none of the export options work like they are supposed to.

It claims it can export to PDF, HTML, .RTF...None of them work. On a Mac I can't even get it to print to a PDF.

I've tried it on both my Mac and on a Vista machine, same results.

The only 'export' that works is to a giant .JPG, but I need the editing capability and the ability to slice and dice it to use in my spec document.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or (horror) can confirm that it just is broken? I'm out hours and hours and hours of work if I have to recreate this thing in Visio.

Thanks!

I can't confirm your specific case, but it is the most unstable application I've had the displeasure to use. [Edit] Hmm... can't export to PDF. For the record, I'm running 10.5.2 on a MacBook CD.

Sorry I can't help more.
