Print version, do you have that option?

Hello, firstly thanks for your great support.

Do you have by any chance any option to activate printable version? Example, I am in the pricing page and I want to print it on paper to take the paper to a meeting. Then I click in print version and I will see only the relevant main content (no menus, no footer, no headers...) and in black and white. Then the user can easily print. I guess this is possible to do via CSS hiding all elements except the main content. Other workaround could be to have something like "hide on click" then I could hide all elements I do not want to display in the printable version.

Is that possible?

Thanks a lot and have a nice day

Hello,

We Really Apologize but this Option is not available by Default and currently there is no Printable Version of Canvas available. However, this Definitely is an Awesome Suggestions, and we will start working on this for Our Future Updates.

Additionally, the Hide/Show on Click, definitely seems to be a Good Option, however it would be much more recommended to use a Print Stylesheet to Hide the Elements only on the Print Media Display. Please follow the Steps to achieve this:

  1. Simply create a CSS File with the name: print-friendly.css (or anything else you like) in the css/ Folder and add the following code in it:
@media print {
	.hide-on-print { display: none !important; }
}

  1. Now, link this Stylesheet in the Document <head> after the css/responsive.css CSS File Linking.

  2. Now, you can simply add the .hide-on-print Class to the Elements you want to Hide on the Print Display.

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps! Thanks for your Patience.

Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
