Arcadia Publisher

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.
