Diogenes Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 A print view option like the one in Indesign proves useful, instead of having to toggle off margins and guides and so on. bures, LSweet and SamMN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Werner Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 View > Hide All Guides seems to work fine for me – you can even customize the shortcut to be something as simple just like in "W" in InDesign (though then it won't work in text editing mode – that's one of the limitations of the shortcut editor, you can only set up one keyboard shortcut per command).

Staff Patrick Connor Posted August 30, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 30, 2018 Diogenes Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. The print dialog shows a view clipped to the current printers printable area, but it's own view is something we are considering.

ScottFromWyoming Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't want the current printer to ever affect the document. I have printers for quick proofing, but the output is PDF 99.9% of the time. What output device I may be connected to at the moment is 100% irrelevant! Thanks.

Not to the person who made this thread (I hope), and I was answering them. You require a PDF preview, which is not quite the same suggestion.

No, I took OP's request as wanting something like View/Screen Mode/Preview in InDesign, which turns off all extraneous marks and nonprinting items, grays out the pasteboard. I can toggle it on and off by just typing W. SamMN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that works well, it still lacks the ability to "cut" content that overlaps the pages. 14 hours ago, ScottFromWyoming said: No, I took OP's request as wanting something like View/Screen Mode/Preview in InDesign, which turns off all extraneous marks and nonprinting items, grays out the pasteboard.

Robert J A Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I second this. A print preview option and shortkey would be awesome. I found Clip to Canvas '\' is half way there... Stoked to see this Beta though, looks superb and can't wait for the full release! Well done Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowTie Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I also used this feature extensively in InDesign, and missed it in PagePlus. However, VIEW > "Hide All Guides" seems to show a print preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
