How to convert Canva files

When you prepared your PDF in Canva (or Procreate), it is not always printable on the Canon printer.
To be sure your file is printable, follow these few easy steps:

Step 1.


  • Export your Canva (or Procreate) file on your device as a PDF for print


Step 2.


  • Transfer your file to the downloads folder in one of the PS computers connected to the Canon printer (Print L / R)

  • This will create a new version of your document and will ask you to change the name

(Tip: I usually add "_check" after the name, to know the file has been checked)
