Questions about how to convert numeric, textual or graphical data, code, sounds, animations etc. from Mathematica's internal formats into other file formats belong to this tag.
Some example questions:
- How well does Mathematica code exported to C compare to code directly written for C?
- $\LaTeX$ and Mathematica
- How to embed fonts when exporting Mathematica graphics as PDF
- How can I share objects with dynamic content with non-Mathematica users?
- How to control the page size when exporting as a PDF?
