Currently

Exports only as JPG/previews/links.

Proposed

It should have an option to export a real PDF.

Ahh I am stupid, you have to click twice.

I only clicked once and saw the big "generated" message:

Only then, I saw the download button:

IMHO this is a UX problem. The message above, distracts and then you (or at least me) totally loose/lost the focus on that button. Also, I did not expect the buttons text (and function!) to suddenly change.

Solution: IMHO, just directly start the download after generating. There is no need to wait.

Due to the restriction of the browser, JavaScript can only trigger download action shortly after user click. However the scanning takes time and will exceed the time limit.

Also another ux problem is when user click download button, user will need to wait unknown processing time before download starts.

Ah okay, I see. What about a more prominent message, like a popup or so, that asks directly after generation if the file should be downloaded?
