Problems exporting to PDF
Hi all !
Marked is a great app but has a major problem when exporting as PDF.
I am wondering if this topic didn't pop up yet – may be it is configuration of our infrastructure. System configuration here is MacOSX 10.7.5 using german locales.
There are 3 main problems when exporting a rendered markdown
document as a PDF:
1. the PDF is rendered at wrong size (45 cm x 66 cm, see attached
screenshot)
2. the output is in landscape format if I select "Save as PDF"
3. there is no way to change to layout from landscape to portrait;
there is no selection widget for this action visible
Things I tried so far without success:
- changing the output css (tried with "swiss", "github" and our
corporate css which didn't change a thing) - changing the system
wide language to english as first language (because the application
language and the printing dialog is english) - accessing different
printers - export as PDF - saving to PDF via the print menu -
exporting PDF into Preview and trying to export from there (leaving
a lot of white space on the pages; no, this is not an option)
Any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Arne

I'm afraid PDF support for non-US layouts is missing in Marked 1.4. I've improved the print options for the next version, but for now the best solution is to export HTML and then save as PDF from Safari or other converter.
