Hi. I have a multi-page diagram that prints just fine via OmniGraffle. However, when I export to PDF to share w/ friends who don't have OG, the diagram comes out as one BIG page. How do I not lose the page breaks on export to PDF? Thanks! Nick :)

Try printing to PDF, that should incorporate the page breaks.

I haven't run into this problem, so I have to assume the solution proposed (printing to PDF versus exporting to PDF) works. However, it is pretty unintuitive: one would think that exporting to PDF (i.e. the complete document option) would be exactly the same as printing.

Is this a bug in Graffle? (If so, I assume it's known and will be fixed in the future.)

If it is NOT a bug, could someone then explain what are the differences between exporting and printing to PDF?

Thanks,

Mathew

In the case above, there is one canvas that is oversized and prints to multiple pages. Therefore, an export of the canvas or whole document will be to one single page PDF.

However, in the case of using Graffle Pro where one has many canvases, an export of the entire document to PDF will result in one page per canvas.
