Print to PDF selects portrait by default and prints 2 pages per page #39

Browser: Chrome. Selected print without choosing output file size. Print dialog defaults to portrait. Output file contained 2 pages per page output (see PrintTest#1 attached)

Retried the test by selecting A4 size, portrait and the same thing occurred but on A4 output (see PrintTest#2 attached).

Based on the output I can see the best print view will be an A3 portrait view (needs to fix the 2 pages per issue).

This output we would then print to an A0 plotter. This is because the font size would be the most readable for wall charts.

This is out of our control. Webpages do not have permission to change the way that the print dialog opens, or what options are displayed. Unfortunately this means that it is up to the user to ensure that the same page size is selected in our program to the print dialog. So far, portrait is not available, so it will by default show two landscape pages per page. This can only be fixed if this becomes a native application.
