Controlling output when printing from Mini-TOC

  • May 7, 2021

Using RH 2020, Update 4. The output is Frameless, using the Oceanic skin.

Is there a way to control the print functionality in the Mini-TOC? I would like to either have the printed file to contain the header and footer from the Master Page on each page, or have the Print icon open a designated PDF file. If I'm unable to do either, is there a way to disable the Print icon in the Mini-TOC?

    With that prompt from @Stefan Gentz I found the easier way in the skin editor.

    Is the problem that you have background shading on the footer and that doesn't print? If so I think that's a browser print setting that users have to change manually. This is partly an historical feature, from when colour printing was much more expensive, and also noisy background images were popular.  (hello MySpace 🙂   )

    Thank you so much - Peter's suggestion worked. I'm glad that the solution was within the skin, and not a post-generation fix.

    Another tidbit for your site @Peter Grainge ?

    If you want to hide the print button above the MiniTOC, you can do it by adding the following to the layoutdiff.css:

    .RH-LAYOUT-RIGHTPANEL-print-button {
       display: none;
    }

    The nearest I could find was deleting the icon in skin editor but it leaves a gap and the functionality is still there.

     

    I can't see any way of editing how it works so your options as far as I can see are:-

     

    See https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your support contact options.
