Print to pdf with a margen


Reply

 When print to pdf is set up it scales the page to A4 but with full with and no margen.

This means that 5-6 mm will be cut off at each side og the page when printing.

 

I can make a pdf printerfriendly template with the margen but it will still be cut of at the bottom if there is more than one page.

And I don't want to have double templates since this shouldtn't be neccessary and is a lot of extra work when making changes to templates.

 

How to get a margen on all 4 sides of the pdf file using the normal page template?

Its not possible to set margins except for in the template. The PDF component do support it, so it could be a feature.

It really is a problem since putting margen in the template doesn't solve the problem at the bottom of the page where a 2 page page is cut of.

If you could put 15 mm. margen on all sides it would be great.

Since normal printers cuts of app. 6 mm. the print is missing part of the page when it scales to full A4.

 

Do you think this could be implemented?
