Any Chance to Make Documentation More Printer Friendly?

dbnex November 15, 2018

@Atlassian Any chance to make your documentation more printer friendly.  Right now, printing it from Chrome, FF, Edge, Brave results in lots of parts being cut off around the areas between 2 pages, the menu on the left is printed on each page, code samples and text are often cut off on the right etc etc.

All this made me try to copy and paste text to Word and print from there, but that looses all images if you have any in the document so again - problem there, too.

I tried adding various print extension to browsers to resolve this but all end up having similar problems mentioned above.

 

UPDATE

I am talking about your online documentation like in this link

Thanks for the clarification - I don't think the git tutorials were intended for print and aren't running on top of Confluence (our documentation software).

I did have some luck running the page through printfriendly.com - my results here and a quick screenshot to show both code and images came along fine:

I think you'll be pleased with the results there and the effort is pretty minimal (either click on my link above, or visit printfriendly.com manually and enter the git tutorial URL).

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel, I found this as a Firefox add in and it works good

By documentation are you referring to Atlassian-published information on confluence.atlassian.com?

Or are you referring to printing things like KB articles and pages from your own Confluence instance (and if so, are you on Server or Cloud)?

Thanks,
Daniel

What version do you have? Server or Cloud?

I know for server we get a "printable" option under export when looking at an issue. It doesn't look the best in the world, but it'll give you information regarding the issue and not cut anything off.
