<<< You cannot do anything with the preview other than walk through the pages.
You should realize that this is not coming from us, it's part of the system
frameworks, therefore we can also not change how it works. AFAIK it should be
accurate as to what you get, but that can never be 100%, because the
information it has may also not be 100% (a physical object is not always the
same thing as the model in the computer, for instance you may not have the
paper size in your tray you say there is.) From what you say I really cannot
say what would cause the truncation, it could be all kinds of things. You
should try and play with the various settings in the print panel. >>>
Thanks but I'm not sure you understood my post. I didn't ask for a way of
altering anything while 'previewing' in SKIM (i.e., I realize that 'preview'
just walks you through the pages), just what to do to make the preview accurate
relative to the hard copy.
The 'paper size' certainly has nothing to do with it (i.e., I only use 8 1/2 x
11).
However, it may very well be that the fault lies with Google Docs. All of the
problems I've encountered that led to my inquiry here have occurred with
documents created with the latest version of GDocs -- an alleged 'upgrade.'
The fact alone that to date no GDocs docs spec'd as 'landscape' docs have
printed as 'landscape' docs in that web app's current version (i.e., all such
docs print in 'portrait' orientation, with of course, truncation of text) seems
to point to a likelihood that all is not well with Google Docs, something which
should come as no surprise to its users.

When I print a PDF created from a Google Docs doc via the ‘Download’ (i.e.,
‘Download as PDF’) option in Google Docs, text at that margins (i.e., at ‘the
top of the page and the left of the page’ -or- ‘the left of the page and the
right of the page’) are slightly (but noticeably) truncated in the printout,
even though the truncation is not apparent when ‘previewed’ (in SKIM) prior to
printing.
How
can I prevent that truncation from happening?
Also, is there a way to ‘zoom’ (i.e., enlarge) the print preview (in SKIM), so
that I can tell for sure whether or not the truncation is displayed? (I’ve
referred to it as “not apparent’ above because the default preview display is
too small for me to be certain.)
UPDATE: Although the zoom question still applies to text docs, a monthly
calendar previewed completely normally in SKIM yet printed with slight
truncation of the left and right
borders of the calendar.
So my overall question is: How do I get to a completely wysiwyg situation with
respect to ‘previewing’ and ‘printing’ in SKIM?
Thanks.
(If at all relevant to the above, I'm using SKIM v. 1.2.4 (42).)
