Print ONLY a section?

Hey Guys,
Is there a way to print JUST a section rather the whole document?

Yep, I know you can always specify the pages of that particular section once the print dialog pops up but I find this cumbersome… Is there a way to print a specific section within a document?

I discovered last week that using the Chrome print command (instead of the Coda print command) allowed me to print only the selected section. I had really good results with it, actually.

@Ander what are you seeing because I’m not given the option to print only certain sections. I still have to manually choose which page ranges I want and agree with Shalin that it’s cumbersome.

See image below.

  1. Minimize Coda’s lefthand sidebar before printing (or Chrome will leave a huge left margin on the print page).
  2. Chrome menu > Print
  3. Adjust Chrome’s print scale as needed.

NOTE: It’s far from a perfect solution. I’ve had print jobs since my earlier post in this thread for which I couldn’t get a satisfactory print layout using Chrome, and others where I could. It’s just a hack until Coda rolls out a comprehensive print solution.

But even when printing with Chrome printing setup, it seems for big sections, some graphics/tables wont “render” while printing :

If I scroll down in my section and print again, I get this part working fine but the top part suddenly wont render either.

Now my outsider opinion:
I think Coda need a better printing engine or whatever it’s called. Coda has a lot of cool graphs and tables that looks very good on the screen. But we need to be able to print it in a well formatted “google doc’s style” way so this precious data wont be “stock” inside Coda and will still looks great when presenting or sending official documents to customers.
I believe this is something that need to be adresses as much as a proper way to “search” on a page.

Has anyone else had this feature stop working in the last day or so? I regularly create PDFs through the File --> Print to print single sections but it is no longer displaying the text. I have tried in both Chrome and Safari.
