Obsidian Print Preview

This plugin helps theme designers debug export to pdf issues by allowing them to inspect the print results

Features

Instructions

• Export to PDF as you normally would
• After export, the rendered print window will show up overlaid on top of your workspace
• You can now use the Dev Tools inspector to check the styling of the printed content
• To dismiss the print window, left click anywhere in the workspace

FAQ

• My PDF doesn't look like the print preview
  • Make sure to set "Emulate CSS media type" to "print" in chrome (see the demo video for details)
• I dismissed the print preview and now my Obisidian screen is blank
  • Make sure to turn "Emulate CSS media type" back to "no emulation" as the default Obsidian theme hides all UI elements in print media mode.

Not currently supported

• Viewing the preview prior to PDF creation
  • The preview will only be visible after export has completed.
• Downscale support
  • Currently the preview will show at 100% despite the % specified in the downscale setting

Manually installing the plugin

• Copy over main.js, styles.css, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-print-preview/.
