Caught up with a founder that loves our product and is trying to use it for all of his sales and marketing collateral. His biggest pain point is that our export is not WYSIWYG. Example: <https://gamma.app/docs/AI-Powered-Healthcare-Solutons-lv788wpf0m92e9b|here is a gamma> that he set to Letter that looks weird in our editor, but exports more closely to what he wants through a lot of trial and error (see pdf attached). Is this one we're actively working on?

Créer des template plus "graphique" pour les Documents un peu format newsletter avec texte sur 2 colonnes etc.

Ich habe ein 30-seitiges PDF erstellt. Die manuelle Gestaltung von Layout und Formatierung ist dabei sehr zeitaufwendig und mühsam. Aus diesem Grund habe ich ausprobiert, das Dokument mit Gamma aufzubereiten – was hervorragend funktioniert hat.

Umso bedauerlicher ist es, dass aktuell kein Export als A4-PDF-Dokument möglich ist. Gerade für umfangreichere Arbeiten wäre diese Funktion extrem wertvoll. Der Bedarf, längere Inhalte professionell zu formatieren und als druckfähiges Dokument zu exportieren, ist meiner Meinung nach deutlich grösser als der Fokus auf Präsentationen.

Alle diese Schularbeiten, bei Beruf, Lead Magnet, E-Book, Kindle Publishing, etc..

Ein A4-PDF-Export würde Gamma für einen noch grösseren Anwendungsbereich und Markt öffnen. Es wäre schade, dieses Potenzial ungenutzt zu lassen.

Vielen Dank für das grossartige Tool und die bisher sehr gute Nutzererfahrung.

Freundliche Grüsse

I tried using Gamma to convert a 50-page document into a usable, proper format with images and well-structured pages, with 1-to-1 text transfer. So no summary, no extract—the text should ideally be taken over exactly as it exists.

I started several attempts using Create New with AI, selected the document, chose A4 as the format. Sometimes I tried letting it generate page breaks automatically, sometimes I even generated them manually, and sometimes I just chose a specific number of cards. But nothing resulted in the document being cleanly generated 1-to-1.

Gamma's biggest problems are filling pages completely and accounting for images in certain places. Either the pages are half empty or it can't manage to fit the content onto the specified number of cards. It's unable to adjust the document's font size, structure, and number of images so that it fits the given number of cards—even when you specify roughly as many cards or even more than the document has A4 pages. It always runs out of cards and cuts parts at the end no matter how geenrous I was with number of cards.

This is really unfortunate because that would be a very useful feature: being able to generate a proper e-book from existing Markdown text with the necessary visuals and everything. And obviously I'm not interested in condensing it because I value every word in there since I wrote and formulated it myself.

So this 1-to-1 conversion is very difficult. I also tried it with manual Gamma and that's way too cumbersome. I produced different upload files types—PDF, Word, or whatever is allowed—to see if that makes a difference. Nope, as soon as you choose A4 and Preserve Text, Gamma goes haywire and nothing reasonable comes out.

I think I made three, four, or five attempts and nothing was even remotely usable. This is really still a major problem.

Having trouble with formatting. Most of my gamma are documents, a4 sized. I have continuous issues with gamma creating pages where information is cut off becauase it creates pages that go beyond a4 limitations. Without the ability to simply "push" data to the next page (or just automatically adding pages). What is the work around?

Gamma should be able to upload the .docx letterhead to generate documents and use it templates.

I'm a lawyer and I use Gamma to visual improve my complaints. But I have to copy and paste from gamma to a .docx, only because I can't replicate my law firm's document dressing.

The gamma pages never come to a4 size layout. When we export to powerpoint it is coming some big size or odd size. Also, it treated each paragraph as each deck. Which is very uncomfortable to edit. Also, the there is no option to adjust line spacing. Please make sure the page consistency as core function in the editor.
