Export

Turn a packed .K2F into PDF, PowerPoint, Word, or InDesign. Markdown and JSON are inputs to K2F; the exports are drawings of the published lock, not a second layout engine. .K2F stays the source.

pip install k2f
# From the skill folder (starter + scripts):
python scripts/init_package.py --workspace ./out/doc --title "From Markdown" --page a4

k2f markdown notes.md -o ./out/doc/doc.K2F --template ./out/doc/source
k2f export-pdf  ./out/doc/doc.K2F -o ./out/doc/doc.pdf
k2f export-pptx ./out/doc/doc.K2F -o ./out/doc/doc.pptx
k2f export-docx ./out/doc/doc.K2F -o ./out/doc/doc.docx
k2f export-idml ./out/doc/doc.K2F -o ./out/doc/doc

--template is an unpacked author directory (Markdown conversion). JSON authoring uses the same packed file: Getting started (pack_verify.py), then the same k2f export-* commands.

What you get

Format	Guide	Pixel-identical	Fillable	Native text
PDF	PDF	Yes	AcroForm widgets by default	Selectable; not a Word file
PowerPoint	PowerPoint	Slight reflow allowed	No	Editable shapes
Word	Word	Slight reflow allowed	No content controls	Editable text boxes
InDesign	InDesign	Slight reflow allowed	No	Editable; package includes `Document Fonts/`

Do not stamp a full-page PNG into PPTX, DOCX, or IDML. Do not treat those files as a second source (PPTX_IS_NOT_A_SOURCE, DOCX_IS_NOT_A_SOURCE, IDML_IS_NOT_A_SOURCE, PDF_IS_NOT_A_SOURCE).

Markdown import does not create fillable fields. For a fillable PDF, add form_field nodes after import — PDF.

Unlocked packages fail with UNLOCKED. Compile or pack_verify.py first.
