Page Size, Outline, & Page Numbers

Request

The output PDF is A4 size which I understand is preferable in most countries. Is it possible to provide an option for US Letter Size (8.5” x 11”)? This would be much better for US users.

Barring that, removing the outline would be a good compromise, since it looks very odd when printed.

An option to remove the page numbers would also be appreciated.

    Hello Dave, thanks for your suggestion!

    Currently, the PDF is generated in DIN A4 format, which appears to be the same dimensions but in portrait orientation.

    You can choose whether you want your stage plot in portrait or landscape orientation in the rider options, as shown in the screenshot.

    Regarding the outline, you should see one in the stage plot, which is necessary to define its boundaries, but the sheet itself doesn't have any other outlines.

      Thanks for the response. I understand that the PDF is formatted as A4 but when printed (to bring to a gig, for instance), there is an A4 outline around the A4 dimensions when the destination page size is not A4 (US standard is “Letter” size of 8.5”x11” or 215.9×279.4mm). Here’s a snip of what I’m talking about.

      And again, being able to remove the “1/1” in the bottom right corner would be lovely.

        Hello Dave,

        Thanks for the snip — it helped us pinpoint it. You were right: the PDF did include a thin outline drawn at the very edge of the page. It was invisible on screen and on A4 prints (it falls within the printer's non-printable margin), but it became visible when the page was scaled down, such as printing on Letter paper or using "Fit to paper". We've removed it, and the fix is already live — just reload page, generate your PDF again and it will print clean on Letter.

        Regarding the page numbers, we're keeping them as they are: they're genuinely useful for multi-page riders (for instance when the stage plot and channel list end up in different hands at the venue), and they're small enough not to interfere with the content.

        We'll keep the Letter page size option under consideration as a suggestion.

        Thanks again for taking the time to report this so clearly.
