If you're asking whether it's showing something inaccurate, it has looked OK to me so far. Could you provide a screen capture that shows the problem you're seeing, and some additional info about the document setup and print setup? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Morgoth Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 OK, very strange. Today I went through the same process of copy/paste into AD. Then went to the print dialogue box that shows the preview window. Guess what, today it fits to the page. I am unsure what I did differently, if anything. The preview shows that it fits into the page. Yesterday when the dialogue box appeared I needed to keep resizing what I had pasted into an AD document to get it to fit. So I am not sure why today when I did the same steps that it now shows that it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_K Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Morgoth you can change the Fit type to fit or shrink to printable or alternatively adjust the scaling percentage to make document that are bigger than the printer's size fit Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Fit or shrink to printable is misleading for me. If I understand this correctly, then e.g. an A4 document is fit to A3 paper or an A3 document is shrinked to A4 paper. What is not working is printing an A4 document with graphic elements at the edges on A4 paper to be shrinked respecting the printer margins (should be approx. 92%). Somewhere else it is better solved. There it is (roughly translated) called "Scale to page size", which could mean that a document e.g. 30 x 45 mm is printed nearly covering the bigger paper including respecting existing printer margins. Only ONE option where you don't have to think about document and paper dimensions. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
