How do I export a Final Draft file to a different format like RTF or TXT?

If you want to export your file go to File > Export > Script.

This will save your script in formats usable by Final Draft and other programs.

1. Final Draft Document saves the document to the standard Final Draft (.fdx) file format;
2. Final Draft Template (.fdxt) saves the document as a Final Draft 12 template (.fdxt extension). A template is a document that can be reused and saved under another name without overwriting the original. If a script has been customized to certain specifications and the intention is to format other scripts in this way, save it as a template;
3. File Converter Format (.fcf) saves the document in the File Converter format, readable by Final Draft 7 and earlier;
4. HTML Document (.html) saves the document as a web document readable by web browsers. (NOTE that saving in this format does not publish the file to the internet);
5. Rich Text Format (.rtf) saves the document as a formatted text file, including all paragraph indents and element styles. A script exported from Final Draft as RTF and opened in most word processors will retain many element styles (such as scene headings in all uppercase and character names uppercase and indented toward the middle of the line);
6. Plain Text (.txt) saves the document to a standard text file with no formatting. A script exported from Final Draft as TXT and opened in most word processors will not retain any element styles;
7. Scheduling Export (.sex) saves the document in a format that is importable by EP Scheduling;
8. Text with Layout (.txt) saves the document as a plain text file that uses white space to simulate formatting for indents and line spacing;
9. Avid Script–Based Editing exports a script to a format readable by Avid’s professional editing systems (.txt extension);
10. Tab-Delimited Dialogue (.txt) exports all dialogue in the script along with filename, date, character name, dialogue number and scene numbers in a tab-delimited text file for spreadsheet or database import.

In the dropdown menu, select the name of your file, the location where you'd like it saved, and the File Format, then click Save.
