Archive All Your Mac Sticky Notes By Converting To PDF

If you’ve got a clutter of Stickies on your Mac desktop and you want to archive them all in one fell swoop, here’s a kludge jury-rigged from Print to PDF:

While there’s no direct “export all” feature in Stickies, there is a fairly simple workaround. First, select File -> Print All Notes. In the Print dialog, click the PDF pop-up menu, then select Save as PDF.

The PDF can then be printed if you prefer a paper record, or you can copy and paste the text from a reader into any text editor. If you’ve set up a Stickies tutorial, this would be a good way to save what you’ve written for reusing it later. Looking for other ways to improve your sticky notes?
