Badly quoted below : info on current printed area in centimeters or inches would be useful to figure out paging
(beware that ms-foo print servers makes regularly jokes, especially with anything but A4. Which will unlikely be splitted on A4 (an empty or "locked' tray is sufficient) ) Find the bleeding edges, Luke :p BTW, I never looked at an ''auto print crop marks'' option (i'm not a tree killer). Also associated with something like "sozi" Inkscape plugin (with direct view in a dia XML markeup extention, then JS/viewports for svg or wathever at export), It would be a killer feature! For whose don't know, effect is spotting/clipping on (rotateds as needed) rectangles (viewports are for svg what bounding boxes are in PostScript). Not a troll: currently I need to export to svg, then half blind inkscape/sozi edit. also I never tried a PDF export of Sozi ''animations'', and expect PDF 1.n scripting is out of scope). Sozi is especially good on schematics presentations (teaching, ...) And thats keeps intact ''unfinite area''... B Regards, TSFH.

Not so bad idea from him, even wrong : a watetmark of "current printed area #n on m", expressed in centimeters or inches - accorded to current page setup (so you can figure current scale, estimate how it will look like, eg on paper or on screen projection. I think notably about the ''Sozi'' plugin from ''Inkscape'' (which unfortunately need to open the file simutaneously in a web browser, or having a clock and a rotate fonctions brain enableds. A task where MS-Windows sucks with it's fuckin file locking behavior). Sozi is based on viewports and something like smil JavaScript enabled.
