The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need to export these slides as a PDF to send to procurement. Export the current presentation as a PDF, include hidden slides, ensure the handout layout is one slide per page with speaker notes included below each slide, and name the file Procurement_Proposal_July9.pdf. Ladder":"L1"

PDF exports repeatedly mess up layout for reviewers

Every PDF export ends up with layout issues that force a last‑minute fix for reviewers. Where am I consistently going wrong in preparing files for external review and what two habits will prevent these recurring export problems — one in authoring, one in export settings? Ladder":"L6"

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
