I found a solution:

1. Open Sharing: toggle Public On, copy URL, open in new tab
2. Print to PDF: click Three-dot menu on top right, click Print, choose Save as PDF, Save. (Ctrl/Command + P)
3. Close Sharing: toggle Public Off !!!

PS: If we had a guide to a private preview page, it would be easy to indirectly solve this problem of exporting PDF and significantly reduce resource consumption.

Sorry I did not understand. They could give me the data in a step by step, but less technical. I urgently need to Export my Resume.

The trick @jeremyyin2012 provided works!

Here are the detail steps: (Tested on Chrome on Windows and Arc on Mac)

1. Lunch the editor and open your project.
2. From the right hand sidebar, select or scroll to the 'Sharing' section.
3. Enable sharing by toggling the 'Public' button.
4. Copy the URL.
5. Open an empty tab (Incognito works the best for me) and paste the URL.
6. Your resume should load. (In my case, I need to reload the page a few times for it to display)
7. From there right click on your resume and select 'Print'.
8. Destination: 'Save as PDF'
9. More settings: Paper size: A4, Margin: 'Minimum' or 'None' gives me the best original result.
10. Hit 'Save'*.
11. Once that's done return to the editor and turn off Public sharing.

• For Mac users, instead of hitting Save there is an extra option 'Open PDF in Preview' where you can do additional tweaks or other operation such as 'Save as' and so on.

I hope this helps :)
