Printing in Coda: My Love Story With a Plot Twist 💔

[Lisa_Doucet2]

I work with a lot of design studios, and I always start them off on Coda because, let’s be honest, it’s the BEST.
But… there’s this one tiny, stubborn plot twist in our love story: printing/exporting to PDF.

Right now, I’m trying to export a table with 122 rows. Sounds simple, right?
Well… every time I export:

1. I never get the same number of rows/cards twice.

2. It has never once exported all of them.

3. Tried table view instead of card view—same sad ending.

I’m not a coder, but I can’t help wondering… could we maybe get an export to HTML (or something) that actually captures what’s on the page? Seems like it’d be more reliable.

Meanwhile, I’m still waving the Coda flag proudly, just… with one hand, because the other is busy apologizing to my client.

Anyone else living this adventure? Found a secret trick I haven’t tried yet?

YES! This is one of our biggest pain-points.

I found, using the browsers printing feature sometimes resolves missing rows or weird formatting. It also depends on the browser. So far I had a lot of luck with Opera, Brave and Vivaldi Browser.

Oh and it is MAGNITUDES quicker than using codas printing dialogue, too!

YOU my friend have saved me MUCH anxiety !! Thank you so much !! I downloaded Opera, had never even heard of it tbh. Took me a while to figure out how to ‘print’ as there doesn’t seem to be a dedicated ‘print’ but in Windows it is ctrl+p does the same. And TADA ! My entire table available to pdf. I almost want to cry. Thank you so so so much !
