Could you perhaps help with this one?

Thank you!

Hello Elisa Maxim and Mats Linder ,

We are currently relying on browser support for printing pages and will review improving print options in a future update.

That said, the contents of our Documentation Center isn't really meant to be printed. The Trados Studio documentation does offer some of its contents in PDF format (see https://docs.rws.com/en-US/trados-studio-2024-1145319/pdf-documentation-downloads-533203).

I'm eager to learn more about your use case for wanting to print our docs, so we can better meet your requirements.

Kind regards,

Mathijs Panhuijsen

I'm pretty sure nobody else makes printouts like I do: I printout everything and make books; for 2024 it's ten of them. (Usually I only print those part which are different from the previous version, but this time I went whole hog in order to have everything up-to-date. And yes, I know it's only up-to-date for some time, but that's enough for me).

I use this for digging deep into Studio and the cloud functions for updating the Studio manual which I have now been publishing since Studio 2009 and updated for each Studio version, usually also providing new editions about every six months.

So yes, I understand this is no common need; it's just that it was very useful to be able to make printouts even if the very top line on follow-up pages was lost.

And I would be surprised if not other users from time to time find it useful to be able to printout some parts, albeit probably small, of the documentation. Not all of it is available as pdf's, and the pdf's are not always updated in keeping with the screen documentation.

Kind regards,

Mats

I believe that it should be possible for you to print these webpages by using a browser extension or feature called "reader mode" for your browser.

For example, I use Chrome and have installed the "Reader Mode" Chrome extension (available from https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/reader-mode/llimhhconnjiflfimocjggfjdlmlhblm).

By using this extension, I can create not only a clean, content-only version of the web page (without colors, side panels etc), but also print the cleaned-up page (using the print button included with the extension).

If you use a different browser than Chrome, it may be worth your while to see what kind of "reader mode" features or extensions are available.

Thank you for this suggestion! The print function works OK (but with an important issue; see below). One problem, however, is that when I want to print out more pages (i.e. return to the original documentation page) I have to click the link on top of the Reader Mode page and then click the menu icon at top left (of the Documentation page) to see the contents. This is instead of having the contents menu open all the time and easily navigating between the pages.

Furthermore, the Reader Mode does not render all contents. For instance, for the page Trados Copilot - AI Assistant this text is left out:

So, in all, this is not the solution I needed. (I have looked at the "reader mode" features but cannot find any option which covers this latter problem.

You can return to the regular page easily by closing Reader Mode. To do so, click the "X" in the top right corner:

As for Reader Mode not rendering all content: I didn't build the tool, so I can't speak to its specific functionality. The tool, by necessity, must make judgment calls about what it considers "content" and what it considers "navigation." In the screenshot you shared, the Note is content and should have been included, while the set of four links are navigation and should have been excluded. The makers of Reader Mode should be able to tell you why the first exclusion happened.

Thanks for pointing this out! And I have submittet a question about the non-included text to Reader Mode. I'll come back when I get a reply.
