New feature: Export to PDF or PNG

This was by far our most requested feature, so we're excited to say that you can now export your mockups to a PDF or a zip file of PNGs!  If you load up Mockingbird, you should see an "Export" drop-down in the menubar now.  Click that, and then PDF or PNG to get a nice, crunchy, print-quality local copy of your mockup.  And, as usual, please let us know if you experience any bugs.

We also added two new widgets: a vertical link list and a close button.

Happy holidays!

Thank you! This will be a very helpful new feature indeed. I'll especially find it useful for taking my mockups into Notable for annotation.

This would be a great addition to a very nice tool. Although I have found it produces pdf/png with the page elements scattered all over the place :(

This or just a print function would be really useful - then paper copies can be taken to meetings which is often a driver for generating these mockups.
Still you guys are doing great job on this so thanks.

@seanaery Great to hear - though we do plan on letting you do annotations directly in Mockingbird eventually.

@simonhibbard Sorry to hear about the bug, but I definitely want to fix it. I just sent you an E-mail asking for some details, if that's ok.

Glad to hear it Simon. It seems like Firefox messes up in some specific cases - I should have a fix for it soon.

I just pushed a fix for the Firefox issue, so things should be working there now. Thanks for finding that bug, Simon.

Thank you for an excellent product so far! My wish for Christmas is a ruler-feature. Either one like in Adobe Photoshop where the rulers are on the edge (top and left) of the active area or a "typical ruler" where we are able to measure sizes of boxes and such. :)

Have a merry Christmas & a Happy New Year :)
