Issue editing elements after exporting PDF

[rtkramer]

Seems to be an issue with Sketch Elements displaying weird editing behavior after exporting a PDF file using this tool.

Sketch Version 43.2 Steps to reproduce

1. Install the plugin.
2. Choose an artboard in Sketch and export to PDF using the plugin.
3. After export return to the Sketch artboard and select a text element and hit return to edit the text.
4. Text element cannot be changed but shows new text on top of old text.
5. Quitting Sketch and opening the file again or drawing a new artboard then deleting it seems to resolve it.

Hey, just wanted to update here. I'm still investigating this issue, and hope to have it resolved soon. Thanks for your patience!

Also experienced this issue, I found that after one arbitrary undo action editing is back to normal.

Here is the steps to repoduce:

1. Select some Artboards and export them as PDF
2. Artboards become uneditable
3. Create any element
4. Undo
5. Everything is back to normal

I hope this helps you find out how to fix it. Thanks for this great plugin!

Hey Andrew,

I'm also experiencing the same strange behavior after exporting a series of artboards using the "Select Existing Artboards..." command. Doing an arbitrary undo action seems to help as @Aplusplus suggested. I'm also getting some weird behavior where artboards from other pages seem to randomly get layered on top of the exported PDF images.

I used the "Export Selected Artboards" option. After export, the artboards became uneditable. After closing and opening the file again, I found that all symbols on the selected artboards were ungrouped into individual elements.
