About

Export a Notes note to a PDF file at an absolute path. Notes doesn't expose Export-as-PDF via AppleScript dictionary; this skill drives the File menu + Save sheet via UI scripting. The Save sheet is the standard NSSavePanel — we type the filename into the focused field, use Cmd+Shift+G to set the destination directory, then press Return to commit. The skill does NOT use the Print → Save as PDF route (3+ extra dialog clicks); it uses Notes' direct File → Export as PDF... menu. After the save, the skill polls for the file's existence to confirm completion before returning.

Use cases: documents, spreadsheets, design, productivity

# notes_export_pdf — export a Notes note to PDF at a path

Notes' File menu has direct "Export as PDF..." which opens an
NSSavePanel. The agent's typical failure mode is to open the
File menu + click Export as PDF, then get lost in the Save sheet
— filename field, location field (which is hidden behind a
Cmd+Shift+G shortcut), and the actual Save button. This skill
drives all of that deterministically.

## Examples

```
notes_export_pdf note="KinBench Print 168" out_path="/Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/168-note.pdf"
  → ok: saved /Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/168-note.pdf (47823 bytes)

notes_export_pdf note="KinBench Export 182" out_path="/Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/182-note.pdf"
  → ok: saved /Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/182-note.pdf (45612 bytes)
```

## Why not Print → Save as PDF

The Print → Save as PDF route requires (1) Cmd+P, (2) click PDF
dropdown bottom-left, (3) click "Save as PDF…", (4) navigate Save
sheet. Notes' direct File → Export as PDF... is one click + Save
sheet — half the friction. This skill uses the direct path.
