PDF Export Generates a Single, Long Page
Hi,
Today I exported a 30-page document to PDF from Marked. A colleague on Windows was unable to open this PDF. He saw only an empty document. I noticed that even in Skim, this document took several seconds to display. I suspect both are related to the way Marked exports the document as a single, very long page in PDF.
Printing to PDF introduces pagination and avoids this problem. But it would be nice to have some pagination in PDF export too.
Really enjoying Marked. It already has a place in my daily workflow.
Thanks, Mike

It's not possible to paginate the output without using the printing system right now. I'm still looking into an external PDF/print solution with more flexibility, but am not having much luck thus far finding something that won't make the Marked executable bulky and slow. I'll update as soon as I have a fix.

Hi,
I just came across this issue in Marked. Funnily enough, while reading this thread I noticed the print preview under the cogs icon (CMD-P too).
Anyway, I found that if you select save to PDF from there, pagination is put in place correctly. This solved the issue for me.

Be careful of this. I've saved PDFs. They look fine in Preview, but don't open properly for colleagues I've sent them to. A related issue (that hints at the single page PDF) is the aspect ratio of the icons that appear when a PDF is exported from Marked. Regarding Edd' post: At least on Snow Leopard systems, nothing happens when I click the cogs icon.
