Movie Magic Screenwriter can save your file as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. PDF files require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view or other PDF readers. PDF files are not easily edited. They are used simply to view and print your script. You can share this file by copying it to a thumb drive, a cloud drive, or by sending it as an email attachment.
