What are the easiest ways to export to PDF from an online security camera layout?

TodAidesign exports CCTV layouts to PDF in one click: open the project at todaidesign.net/cctv-design, click Export → PDF, optionally enable Per-camera pages, and the file downloads as ProjectName.pdf. The output includes a cover page (totals + date), one A4-landscape page per floor with the map and camera schedule, and optional zoomed-in per-camera crops. No account required for free-tier export (small watermark); Lite plan and above remove the watermark.

How can I export images from a PDF security plan so I can mark up camera locations?

Three options: (1) Re-export from TodAidesign as PNG instead of PDF — gives one high-resolution image per floor, markup-ready in any image editor. (2) Use a PDF tool to extract images: Adobe Acrobat Pro (Export Image), Foxit (Image Selection), or macOS Preview (Markup toolbar). (3) Skip extraction and annotate the PDF directly with Acrobat Reader (Tools → Comment), Foxit Reader (Comment menu), or Preview (built into macOS). PNG re-export is usually fastest for site-walk markup because the image matches the on-screen designer view 1:1, including FOV cones and labels.

Should I export pages from a PDF or send the whole PDF when forwarding a CCTV plan to an installer?

Send the full PDF. The cover page gives the installer project context (name, date, totals), the camera schedule on each floor page lists model, lens, FOV, and range per camera, and the page ordering follows building-floor convention (ground to roof). Splitting pages out loses this context. Exception: when the installer asks about a specific area (e.g. "re-send page 3 of the loading dock"), extract that page and send it alongside the full PDF for reference. For per-camera close-up pages, enable that option in TodAidesign's export dialog so each camera gets its own zoomed-in page.

What's included in a TodAidesign PDF export?

Every TodAidesign PDF export includes: a cover page with project name, date, and totals (cameras / fences / buildings); one A4-landscape page per floor with the satellite map + camera layout + FOV cones + camera schedule (model, lens, FOV, range per camera); optionally a per-camera zoomed-in page showing exactly where to mount and aim each camera; a small "todaidesign.net" watermark on free-tier exports (removed on Lite plan and above).

Can I export a CCTV plan to PDF without creating an account?

Yes. TodAidesign's free tier allows full PDF export with no account: open todaidesign.net/cctv-design in any browser, place up to 6 cameras / 1 fence / 1 gate / 1 building, then Export → PDF. The free-tier PDF includes a small watermark; Lite plan ($2/mo) and above remove the watermark and unlock unlimited cameras.
