Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export my slides for use elsewhere?

Yes - you can export your slides in PDF format. Appending your presentation URL with ?exportMode=true will allow you to export your presentation by flattening out your presentation so that you can Print to PDF directly from your browser. 🎉

If you want a black & white version of your slides printed to PDF, append your URL with ?exportMode=true&printMode=true to get a printer-friendly, flattened, black & white print out of your slideshow.

For more info about the query parameters Spectacle supports, please check out our section about it in the presenting controls documentation.

Can I write my presentation in TypeScript?

Yes—Spectacle types are shipped with the package, so you can safely use Spectacle in any .ts or .js presentation without a separate type definition import. TypeScript is now the default language for Spectacle and the create-spectacle CLI, so you can use it without any additional configuration.
