    Question "Print Friendly" button

    Many web sites have a "Print Friendly" button which assures the users that everything on the web page gets printed out without data becoming skewed or overflowing past the page margins.

    How is this accomplished and is there a way to do this in Xara/WD aside from creating a link to a PDF file?

    Printer friendly pages are either totally seperate (duplicate) pages formatted specifically for printing or an alternative special .CSS that re formats the layout of the same page to print nicely.
    There is no function at all in WD or Xtreme to to do this for you.

    Ed that's only going to print the current page in the same way as pressing Ctrl+P or File>>Print in the browser..
    It's not a 'printer friendly' solution that the OP is after


    Here's an interesting concept

    Would be even better if it worked 100%
