Description woutervanwijk 2006-01-15 20:48:55 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Why not make the print preview editable? Many times, e.g. when you print a webpage or a pdf, my print would be better (or cheaper, saving my some ink) if I could remove or add something. E.g. add note when printing a webpage, or remove a big picture because I only want the text, etc.

Yes, that would be really nice.................

...but it is extremely difficult to implement, especially in a print *preview*.


I do not think even Windows or Mac have such a feature.


As for removing pictures from printing, look more closely. If you browse your web with Konqueror, you have an option to not print images. KDE is not responsible for other browsers, sorry.

thanks. It was only a small idea which I had, with many technical difficulties probably...
