Describe the feature you'd like
Updated 2018.1206 to create a concise list of desired features pertaining to the PDF export function.
narrow,wide, etc...customnot necessary.low quality).Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
With the goal of using Bookstack for client project documentation, sometimes hard copies are required for planning meetings/discussions. Having control over page breaks greatly improves printed presentation as it helps avoid content spanning printed pages; e.g. tables, lazyetc.
Additional context
None.

For pagebreak try this code:
<p style="page-break-before: always"> </p>@derek-shnosh commented on GitHub (Sep 4, 2018):
While that can be used to specify a page break location, that doesn't give a real-time print view of where the break is on the page based on how it is going to view when exported to PDF or printed.
The best way to further describe the request would be analogous to editing a MS Word doc in View > Print Layout (default view).

@ssddanbrown Apologies if the issue title and content update causes confusion but I wanted to have a single issue to place enhancement requests pertaining to PDF export instead of filing them separetly.
@derek-shnosh commented on GitHub (Dec 7, 2018):
Hmm, @ssddanbrown I found the
disable-smart-shrinkingoption but when I try to add it tobookstack/config/snappy.phpI get the following;Here is my
bookstack/config/snappy.phpI tried enclosing
disable-smart-shrinkingwith{}and()and this did not work either. I'm not an expert here (especially with PHP), so any help would be greatly appreciated.I am able to use this option via bash.
Versions
Debug

@derek-shnosh I believe the option would be provided like so:
@derek-shnosh commented on GitHub (Dec 14, 2018):
@ssddanbrown Thanks, that format was accepted... however it doesn't seem to help.
The reason I was looking for this option is because the fonts are a bit skewed after an export, below is an example with the Work Sans, Muli, and Fira Code fonts; it seems their upper right corners are a bit hacked.
If I open the PDF with Acrobat Standard I can see the fonts are assigned properly. Also, when editing the text field, new characters typed are quite clear.
Now that I know how to assign the options properly, I'm going to dig through them to see if there is something to help with this.
@Nebucatnetzer commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2019):
As discussed here https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bookstack/issues/32 it would be good if the PDF options would be either produce a nicer output, meaning that the output works better on an A4 page, or that there options for the .env file because customizing the snappy.php file means that we're editing the source code directly.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Nov 8, 2022):
I'm going to close this off since this has had relatively little demand while being a feature that is quite open and would be a relative pain to implement & maintain. If needed, we have since made it easier to customize exports using header CSS or the visual theme system.
