Sharing & Exporting

ScriptMagic lets you export your annotated script as a PDF to share with others or print for rehearsals.

Exporting a script

  1. Open the export dialog from the script view
  2. Configure your export settings:

Layers:

Choose which layers to include in the export. Only layers you have permission to view are available. Hidden layers are excluded by default.

Page range:

Export the entire script (default) or specify a custom page range.

Annotations:

The export includes all visible annotations from the selected layers:

  • Highlights — colored overlays with their configured colors and opacity
  • Text notes — text boxes with styling preserved
  • Cues — moment markers and cue text boxes with connector lines (available to Production Team and Admin roles)

Blocking maps:

Choose how blocking maps are included in the export:

  • None — no blocking content
  • Inline thumbnail — small thumbnails drawn on script pages at their tag positions
  • Insert after page — full blocking pages inserted after each script page that has blocking tags
  • All at end — all blocking pages appended at the end of the export

  • Generate the export

Sharing

After the PDF is generated:

  • On mobile (iOS/Android), the system share sheet opens so you can send via email, messaging, AirDrop, or save to files
  • On desktop (web, macOS, Windows, Linux), the PDF is saved to your downloads

ScriptMagic doesn't have built-in sharing links — you share the exported PDF through whatever channel works best for your team (email, cloud storage, messaging, etc.).

What's included in the export

The exported PDF respects the same layer permissions as the in-app view:

  • You'll only see layers your role has access to
  • Me layers include only your own private annotations
  • Design layers are only available to production team members
  • Production layers are available to everyone

Cue author information (created by / modified by) can optionally be included in the export.
