Print out

thaX · August 31st, 2018, 10:23 AM

I did as suggested, and used MS Edge for the printing of the character. Though it is "better" than the Mozilla affair, it still does not print an actual character sheet as what is supposed to be. Is there something being done to be able to print a character sheet of the character instead of a random pile of information papers? Perhaps like, you know, in the format that is at the end of the book?

HLO character printouts are similar to what HLC puts out (at least for Pathfinder 1). It doesn't print out a Paizo character sheet as you are asking.

Yeah, I tried Edge too and discovered that it has printing issues as well (which I have reported and had acknowledged). Since on Windows I normally use Firefox with Edge as my generic backup browser this left me with a problem, which I solved by downloading a copy of Opera Portable and basically setting it up as my Herolab Online App. I've been pretty pleased with how that's working out, but the printout, while complete, is still in the style of the program's display and not like the Paizo sheet.

HLC does print out in a sheet like thing, unlike whatever this is.

Edge has troubles? It seems alright for what it is, but I thought Crome was about the same way?

Yeah, I got confirmation after my bug report that Edge has its own issues with printing. I don't know about Chrome, because I only have that on Android and I haven't tried printing from it.

I've found using Chrome is best even though I'm a Firefox user. Use Chrome and when you go to print, print using Chome's built in print funtionality. Under the more settings section change the zoom level to about 95 give or take a few and see how the print out looks. It gets rid of the big blank spaces for me.

The formatting of the print output seems almost intended to be used with legal paper rather than standard 8.5x11 letter paper. Is this intentional?

Don't forget about the standard A4 size used by the rest of the world.

A4 is 8.27 in × 11.7 in, only slightly different than letter.

Whatever the situation is the printed sheets leave a lot to be desired. This is a big issue. Please work on cleaning up the print and/or detailing how best to print.
