If one uses inShort for a complex process design in a professional setting it is absolute necessary to prepare presentations which includes elements from the inShort model in order to communicate the design and discuss alternatives. It would increase the usability and acceptance in business if generation of presentation material is well supported.
I am currently trying many different ways to export diagrams, like extract from pdfs, screen dumps.... Nothing is realy satisfactory.
Extraction from pdf does not scale well and pdfs do not fit to pages. Screen dumps needs additional editing and do not provide many format alternatives.

Easiest would be if I can use keynote and paste diagram elements copied from the model in keynote. However, it is not possible to paste pictures via the cip board.

I am sure there are many other possible solutions, any solution which works effectively is welcomed.

So far, PDF rendering is the most predictable method of obtaining a vector format in iOs. The standard means of Mac OS allow easily performing the basic manipulations with data in this format without losing quality. Most likely there is something similar on iOs?

The output format (as recommended by Apple) is initially set to US Letter, but I plan to add a setting for A4 also.

please consider also A3 as processes models easily get larger
