Question

Photo Info clipped from page 2 onward in contact sheet print job

Using Mac LR Classic 11.4.1 CR 14.4.1 on Big Sur 11.6.1. This printing issue has been around for awhile, at least a year, perhaps. If I try to print, say, a contact sheets of 30 images in a 3x3 grid with filenames under each, the first page prints fine with the correct size font and with the full filename. On subsequent pages, though, the full filename is clipped at one line. This occurs for long filenames which take multiple lines with bigger font sizes. First page is correct, subsequent pages have truncated captions. The coding problem may have something to do with whether all the filenames are long or not from page 2 onward. If there are some filenames which can fit on one line, LR perhaps thinks that is all the spacing that's needed for the caption on subsequent pages, so they are all just showing one line. Just a guess.

I'm having similar problems when I use filename and caption, and keywords as the photo info.  It is VERY annoying!  It looked very random, but I think you might be right with your page-by-page setting theory.

This problem persists through June 2025. No filenames longer than one line print on contact sheets from page 2 onward. Only the first line is printed, truncated from page 2 onward.

Eventually fiddling with a lot of options, with the smallest font size and tweaking the cell sizes and number fo horiz and vertical cells, as well as trying multiple PDF drivers (Adobe, PDF995 and BlueBeam) I was able to get this to create a PDF with a lot of text for Filename - Date - Folder - Keywords - rating all under the image. Bluebeam was the driver I ended up having success with however it failed many times initially and I did not go back and try the same settings with another driver once I got a working outcome. I also turned off draft print and lowered the image DPI and got 3x6 grid of images. I did save the page template.
