Hi Laurent, It would be great if we could also save a whiteboard as a PDF document. For example using saveSvgAsPng.svgAsPngUri and jsPDF.

I am not very fond of adding features addressing a particular need. Why not a .docx document or another format? The export features exist for PNG and allows users to do whatever they want with it. In particular inline the image in any other thing (email, word doc, online doc, ...). My goal is to keep a minimal feature set that preserves the simplicity of the application for what it is meant to address, drawing simple sketches in a collaborative way. As there is currently no easy way to extend it without modifying it, such a feature should be added to a fork. I cannot invest my free time for implementing particular needs, but I might merge a PR proposing that.

@lbovet I see your point of view. Thanks for your comprehensive answer. Simplicity is something I like wb0 the most.
