Way to make PDF of a Storyboard in Xcode?

Question

Is there an easy way to make a PDF or image file (png / jpg / jpeg) of a full storyboard in Xcode 4.3 to export and send to someone else or post a question on this forum? I would just make a screenshot, but my storyboard is way too big for my monitor and I'd rather not have to manually paste it back together in an image editing program.

I'm pretty sure there's no "Export storyboard to PDF" option in xcode, but I know this: Double-clicking on the storyboard file name opens it in it's own window. Then you can go full screen with it, and right click to zoom out to your desired scale.

You can then either drag a box to select everything or hit Command + A. Every view including the segues can then be dragged around as on unit.

Other than that, I think your out of luck. And if you need to see all of the details of each view, I would take screenshots either in the simulator or the device itself. Then add your connections in whatever editing software you use to make the mockup storyboard.

A quick Photoshop tip for doing that would be the line tool with automatic arrows at the beginning or end. You just draw a line, and it sticks an arrowhead at the end. done. You can access that option from the little arrow dropdown with the line tool active.

If you have a Retina Mac, how can switch the Screen to the highest possible resolution (e.g. with SwitchResX 3360*2100) and make a screenshot. This is sufficient for the most smaller Storyboards
