Print Preview problems
Hi. I realize that Print/Print Preview is probably not a heavily used option in Sigil, but I could use a PDF version of the epub as it is, so I was happy to see it there.

I'm not really clear on what should/will preview or print -- can I preview the entire pub, or only one document at a time? At the moment I seem to be able to preview only a single document/chapter.

Also, for some reason the preview shows me the number of pages in a chapter -- but they are all blank, no text (an image does show up on the first page, however). Not sure what's up there.

Tried the manual but no luck -- I'd be grateful for any assistance/insight.

Print preview only shows the document in the current tab. Specifically the sections and which area (book or code view) that has focus.

I can't say why it's not showing anything in the preview without seeing the document.

The first (correctly working) epub file I tried it on, it showed the same behaviour as the OP wrote about...

Would the font assignment make a difference? I'm using some non-standard fonts (nothing out of control, though).

I can pass along the file if you like. It would help me a lot to have a PDF version of the formatted epub.

Of course, you could use calibre to convert the entire epub to PDF.
