Hi, How do I export PDF without the Logos message: exported from the Logos Bible study?

Thanks for the help. Using Logos 10. The message appears in the footnote and prints also. Actually, I don't want this in the footnotes; I don't want it mentioned at all.

    How are you exporting to PDF? The only way I know to do it in Logos is using a PDF print driver.

    And if you do export directly to PDF there isn't any mechanism to turn off the footnote - so the only option I can think of is exporting to Word, removing the footnote and then saving that as a PDF document.

    Graham — perhaps I'm thinking of something different, but the Tools menu allows a user to export a selected passage from a book as a PDF document. It does, as you noted, still have the "exported from Logos" footer. Your workaround (Word, then PDF) is the one I routinely use.

    As a point of reference, I don't see any Logos message at all. I brought up a book, highlighted a portion of text, went to Tools - Print/Export, then selected Save As File/PDF document, and saved it to my Desktop as a PDF. I got this, which looks fine to me?

    This message the OP is referring to is the last line on the page of your sample, except yours says "Exported from Verbum."

    Thanks for answer. Could you pls. clarify what I must do to avoid this?

    @NetworkGeek Right at the bottom of your image is a footer: "Exported from Verbum", etc. This is your version of the Logos message.

    I've seen a 'lot' of these … there's a quote and then nothing below. I'm wondering if Safari doesn't show anything?

    Of course, that's in addition to the bouncing to NetworkGeek's post before and after posting to Yasmin's post. I really wonder what that's about (a behavior from day-1).

    OK, back to the time/date stamp on PDFs.

    So, if I understand correctly, if I want to export my bible study/Sermon to PDF, directly from my SERMON BUILDER, it always shows EXPORTED FROM BIBLE STUDY, PLUS DATE MENTION? So it is not possible to not let that show up? Then keep 'copy' and 'paste' to Pages in my case just the best option. Are there perhaps other ideas. Thanks for the quick responses you all!

    @Jab Holland Did you see the workaround given by Graham and David? Export first to WORD, remove the footer, and then save as a PDF.

    Yes off course…that is what I usualy do….but that is a workaround, while Logos has it build in…strange…

    I wonder if it is a copyright issue for some resources and so they do it for all documents. Just thinking out loud.

    It is my own sermon or bible study…however there might be truth in what you say. In sermon builder I directly put in text from my favorite Dutch Bible.

    I don't use the Print/Export (to PDF) feature... solely because every page displays 'Exported from Logos Bible Study.' Why can't Logos omit this if we are not able to do it ourselves? As Graham Criddle already mentioned, I convert text to PDF in Pages. But this is a 'workaround'... whereas Logos has actually built in that functionality.
