Flat vs. structured document export

A ‘flat document export’ means that the selected Notes documents or emails will be converted to separate PDF files which will be saved in a selected location (in a flat document view).

The structured export however also allows you to save the structure of your Notes views (e.g. parent-child relationships, view categories, folders etc.) in the export. The structure of the Notes views, folders or categories is saved in one of two ways:

1. By exporting the selected Notes documents into a Single PDF File with a Bookmarks View (which resembles the original Notes view)

2. By automatically re-creating the folder structure on your hard drive (and then populating the folders with corresponding PDF files)
