4. Choose the output PDF file options.
   * All sheets in 1 PDF - creates a single PDF for all sheets.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For larger files, the publishing process may take a long time to complete. In such cases, it is not recommended to use automatic on-save publishing. To speed up your workflows, disable the on-save publishing in settings and use manual publishing instead.
