I am wanting to make a help file that can also be printed for documentation purposes. The problem i am currently experiencing is i am unsure of how to limit my page width so as to keep in within my A4 printing region, and my text is being cutoff. How would i go about doing this? Also what is the best way to size screen dumps so they will appear readable on my printouts?

Permanently deleted user The most effective way to create printed documentation from a HelpStudio is to use the Booklets feature. Is that what you have been trying?

ChrisB I have tried the booklet feature. The problem I am still having with this feature is that the styles, images and tables i have used in the chm file are not correctly translated into pdf. One of the biggest hassles comes from the images I have used, originally I used the image widget, but when printed to pdf the images appear as the _thumb version and are to small to see properly, following that i tried without using the widget, but now my images are cut off in the pdf. All the info within the chm files had been formatted and styled in tables, to match that of our website, but when put into the booklet all this is lost.

Permanently deleted user Any custom styles you have defined in your project should be used in the booklet output as well as the online output. Could you send through a copy of your project to support@innovasys.com so we can take a look.
You can use Build Flags to include an image specifically sized for booklet output. By marking the booklet image with a Build Flag that is used only in booklet output and the dynamic image widget with a Build Flag used only in online output you can include the booklet sized image in booklet output and the regular dynamic image widget for online output.
Let me know if you need any more information on that.
