Hi, I’ve seen this on some threads but never on this section.  
I’d like to export some notes as PDF, but would be able to manage break section. In addition, I would like to be able to preview the export to manage some break section.  
This function should be consider as a must (like the crossplatform you annonced years ago and never came).  
Sorry for that, but from a while, I didn’t see any features that makes the difference using Bear and that’s really sad for this great app. I don’t care on having 25 themes more or 14 icons apps on a paid suscription, but prefer some pro function that we really need.  
Thanks for taking care of this message and sorry for the mess.

Hello roar,  
I tried it and thank you for that!  
Now it should be integrated as a native function

Your shortcut answer the problem but does not allow a preview. But it’s quite a good shortcut to begin (it seems to be complex to build it so congrats).

Then, is there an option in the future development of Bear app to add this possibility, like a page layout function that permit us to manage break pages for export ?  
What is the roadmap of shiny frog on Bear app ? Where can we get the info ?
