NOTE: Windows machines will be slightly different at this step than the Mac. Choose where you’d like to save the PDF and let Lightroom do the rest and export your full PDF.

To create and export JPEG contact sheets, choose the Print module and look to the left and choose a template you like from the Lightroom Templates and choose to include selected photos or all the photos in that filmstrip using the “Use:” drop down menu at the bottom of the viewing area.
