Sim2 Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Hallo (again), I had a document of A4 pages, set up as a 'facing pages' spread. Mostly good except when trying to print a pdf (created as spreads rather than individual pages) on a bog standard 'desktop' printer, the printer couldn't extract or print a page at 100% on A4. It wanted to print a complete spread on an A4 i.e. two pages, rotated to fit and equivalent to an each being an A5 page size. Hope that makes sense. The first and last pages would print fine as 100% on A4 paper. This might be normal behavior for trying to print A4 pages designed and pdf'd as spreads on a desktop printer, if so... carry on! (I haven't been able to check if, say, InDesign would behave the same way.) I tried with Preview and Reader from a mac and others tried Reader with the same result (OS unknown). Would be interesting to find out if this is a default thing with pdfs and desktop/office printers. Thanks.
Chris_K Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Hi Sim2 Yes this is intended behaviour in every app, especially if you have the fit option set a fit to printable or something similar. I'm glad you enjoy this behaviour so! Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com
