A4 page size grid for printing

Hi,

I need to print confluence pages. I already saw from some posts that there is no great way of doing it.

Browser printing option seems the best; BUT.

Since there is no A4 paper size guide on confluence page, there is no way of telling where the image or text is relation to A4 paper. 

Result is pictures between pages, etc.

1. Can i at least somehow let users know the size of A4 on confluence page?

Have you eventually tried Scroll PDF to export to PDF, then print the PDF document?

It is a rather sophisticated app, and hopefully it gives you control over the paper size...

Yes i used it.

Good app, but two shortcomings for my purpose.

1. I really want to print, not pdf and then print. But its alright, little less convenient.

2. Pictures are no longer cut between pages, BUT the text that should go with the picture as in manual, might still be in different page. And there is no way of seeing that when making confluence page since user does not know the A4 size.

So Scroll PDF is better than printing with browser option.

Hi @Kukk I found this out on Atlassian's Jira site. CONFCLOUD-74796   It's related to your issue of exporting to A4 paper.  I think the challenge is that the browser could be any width.    If anything, when you export, a preview would be nice based on some sort of default page size.

I'm not aware of any way to have confluence use some sort of ruler show on the page based on a default paper size.
