AW: any secrets printing only a section from a card?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Yes, that's my experience too. I also tested the printScale without success.
I now, created a separate print stack, copied all objects to that card and
print the whole card.
Thanks
Tiemo

This might be an older issue. I have been struggling with that myself, in
context of producing PDFs, in version 7. Only printing the full card works
reliably. Any other option produces a different output but not the desired
one, at least not reliably.
