How do I turn a Fountain file into a PDF?

Drop the .fountain file above and download the PDF. It’s laid out as a screenplay you can print or send. You don’t need an account and there’s nothing to install.

How do I force an element in Fountain?

Start a line with ! for action, @ for a cue or . for a scene heading. Fountain guesses the rest from how a line looks, so a line in capitals followed by dialogue becomes a cue.

What should I check after converting?

Read the PDF through once. Fountain decides most lines by how they look, so if one comes out wrong, force it in your Fountain file and convert again.
