I want to use Gamma for design and then export the final product as a document maintaining all of the formatting.

I'm frustrated with Gamma. I have my ebook perfectly formatted, but Gamma is changing the document when it exports it to a PDF. For example, my large arrow blocks (vertical arrows) are formatted as medium arrow blocks (2 a 2 table).

Export the PDF then Open with Word works as workaround. It'd editable and all content seems to be there. Formatting is a bit off but fixable. The PDF output format that is used by Gamma could perhaps be improved to be Open with Word friendly.

Curious to know if there's any internal roadmap to output documents in more formats than just PDF? Would specifically love doc/docx as many in my firm use Word as a document editor and find the PDF export a bit more cumbersome to work with.

hi Parker Jones, thanks for the suggestoin.
This is probably doable-ish, but I think the challenge will be that a lot of our fancier layouts wouldn't be possible to replicate in docs.
What would you expect to happen with those layouts when exporting to docs?
Parker Jones
Nik Payne (Gamma design) Firstly, thank you for such a quick reply. Hmm that is a good question. Could you give me an example or two of which layouts could be at issue?
For instance, it seems pretty good at handling tables and figures which are probably the extent of my complexity. My use case it primarily taking already written professional documents, in this case an RFP, and using Gamma to bring the design to a more "modern standard." In this workflow I want to keep the material mostly unmodified and have Gamma adjust styling to make the document a bit more visually appealing.
Another tangentially related feature is being able to take an uploaded document and toggle which pages/sheets should be "AI updated". For instance there are times when RFPs have very specific cover letter requirements and should be left "as is."
Please let me know if you have any other thoughts and questions. I am also a full stack developer so I hope this will assist me in providing a more in-depth perspective!

Nik Payne (Gamma design) Best case scenario is Gamma can export 100% of content to .docx. However, if certain UI edge cases prevent this, even a solution which is able to export some of the document to .docx and the more complex layouts are either omitted or converted to a photo and embedded within the document seems like a decent start to a solution. Happy to hear your thoughts on this.

Parker Jones Thanks Parker Jones this is helpful. Yeah I imagine a quick and dirty version of this is fairly straightforward, and a good version involves chasing down the long tail of specific cases.
I can pitch this to our head of product and see if we could explore it

Have each slide combine into one long document while maintaining formatting. This would enable gamma slides to be used in emails, social media posts, and brochures.
