Bug ID: 394601
Summary: Add Preview support to the default Printing Dialog via
PDF export
Product: print-manager
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dantt...@gmail.com
Reporter: codestr...@posteo.org
Target Milestone: ---
I am not sure where to report this.
Quite a few applications - e.g. KSudoku - have a Print... action (which opens
the default printing dialog) but not a Print Preview action.
As a workaround, one can choose the PDF Printer in the Printing Dialog, choose
a filepath, click Print, find the PDF and open it to have a print preview.
Two things would be helpful on the Printing Dialog:
1) Add "Print Preview" support as already noted in
https://community.kde.org/Printing/Missing_Features#Print_Preview: "could fake
Basic Print Preview by printing to PDF and calling default viewer"
2) Have a separate button "Export to PDF" which uses the default printer
settings for page size etc. and then shows a Save... dialog to selecte the
target PDF file (in contrast to the current situation where the PDF Printer
must be selected from the Printer combobox and the target file must be chosen
with a "..." button)
