I use Numbers to create estimates and invoices for my screen printing and design customers. Whenever I "export to" the app drops down and to save as a Numbers file, the option says "Numbers '09" even though I have the most current version updated. It is not a big deal, but I am just curious why. Any input is appreciated!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
Are you asking why does the export to menu include Numbers '09?
On mac OS using the latest version of Numbers, I see a menu like this.
Is this what you see?
When export you are implicitly saying I want to change the format.
When you export are you trying to provide a PDF to your client? If so you can still go though the export menu AND you may consider trying the more natural method (in my opinion) to print to a PDF using the print features.
select the menu item "File > Print". This will enter print setup mode.
When you're ready to print, click the button "Print" in the bottom right:
Then choose "Save as PDF…"
:
Then click the button "Done" when you are finished printing (or type the escape key)

Wayne, yes this is exactly what I see and was curious why it said "09" in there. I save both a Numbers file copy as well as a PDF for the customer. The numbers is the "master" that I keep in case updates or adjustments are needed later. I also created a pricing calculator in Numbers that also gets saved for every estimate, so that I can reference it later when re-quoting that job or something new for that customer. Its nice to see how it was priced per job because sometimes I give some customers breaks on screen charges or specialty prints. Keeping the calculator is super helpful when I need to reference it later. Thanks for the reply!
It says Numbers '09 (and not Numbers 13 for example) because the format was established at that version, and the understanding is that every version since then supports it.
Recycleur, this explains it. Thank you!
Why does it say "Numbers '09" when I "export to" from Numbers?
