Most of the time we are used to printing a document on a sheet of paper and take that for granted. But we do not expect to print a whole book on a sheet of paper, because we know that the contents of a book are much larger than an ordinary sheet of paper can hold, and even if we try to narrow down the contents, the results are not clear.

The project plan created with QuickPlan may contain many tasks, or the project duration may be very long. In this case, the project output corresponds to a much larger size than a sheet of paper can hold. Theoretically, we can scale the output to a small image, but due to the limited accuracy of the printer (DPI), it is impossible to enlarge the content significantly without limitations. In the case of a large natural size, the computer has no way to display it clearly on a small sheet of paper - even for a human it is impossible in most cases.

The app has no way to overcome the hardware limitation, zoom in on the content, and get it onto a paper with clear content. If you need to print a project with large content, we recommend that you export the project to a one-page PDF file by selecting the "Automatic" PDF page size option.


Then:

• Print the PDF file. Printing on macOS / iOS provides options to scale the content and change the orientation of the paper. This solution works when the natural project size is close to the page size.
• If the natural project size is very large, it is impossible to scale down the content to fit the target paper size with clear content. We need to print the project on multiple papers:
  • We can use QuickPlan to export the project to a PDF file with multiple pages.
  • Or we can use QuickPlan to export the project with one page by selecting the "AUTO" page size option and use another third-party PDF app to split the PDF into different pages. Usually, the third-party app provides more flexible options for splitting, such as the Adobe Reader.
