Post is a racket. As soon as I find a suite that is more user friendly and no so limiting I’m out! It’s like you can use the stuff to an extent but they charge our dumb behind monthly

Bit of a late reply, sorry. If you are using Spark to create stuff for print, you are probably using the wrong software. There has always been an issue with printing. However, if you see the sticky above, and create a PDF it should work - the PDF is just that, and is manageable as any PDF is.

If you are doing that (you don't say what format you are downloading the file as) it may be that your browser is not treating it correctly. If you read the above it seems to be specific to Chrome. I use Firefox mainly, and have successfully created PDFs from that, but I have not tried anything complex like combining a border with an insert. It maybe something to do with layering - if your border image has a white centre, as opposed to transparent, it could be that whatever you are putting in the centre is being hidden behind the white.

I don't have a 'how to' solution, but I hope that this helps you resolve your problem. Spark appears to be intended as an easy to use application to generate webpages, and it is frustrating that it is not straightforward to create print outcomes.

Good luck!

I have only just started using spark. I have created a certificate that I want to print, however when I try to print it just prints the border and the rest of the page is blank. I have downloaded the certificate to my google drive and still have the same issues. can anybody help please ?

Hi ,I have a webpage published in adobe spark could you help me in making a PDF document

What kind of printer do i need to buy to use this software?

I need to be able to add a bleed to the PDF output. Any idea how to do that?

HOW CAN I REDUE THE SIZE OF THE DOCUMENT WHICH IS NOW 133MB DOWN TO 4MB?

I love using Adobe Spark to create my weekly newsletter at school.

Thanks James: I don't know what system or OS you are using but sadly it does not work for me (MacOS 10.13.6). The link also appears to be broken. Anyway, loss of images is a big problem for me so I will stick with the official Chrome based method, even though it's a nuisance to switch browsers, making them default so that Sparks opens in the right browser. Its 95% OK.

Its just I would have thought 95% was not good enough for a company with the resources of Adobe.

Here's my trick for converting newsletters I get in Adobe Spark format into PDF.

Once the newsletter has opened in Firefox, I reload it with javascript disables (using this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/), and then use the browsers in-built "print to pdf" feature.

It's not perfect - the images don't load for example - but the text is all visible and the silly spark custom scroll bar doesn't appear.

I opened one of the saved pdf files in Microsoft Word. It did open but showed some layout issues. If I were inclined I could do a lot more layout work in Word, resizing images, controlling text flow around images, adding boarders to images, etc. This is good progress and gives me a way to have a personal copy of the material I've created, independent of any cloud service.

I don't think there was an announcement. But Veronicas sticky above now holds true! It makes no difference if you save to pdf or print directly from Sparks in Chrome, you get the same layout issues, but they are minor.

For some reason I missed seeing the announcement of the Print to PDF feature being fixed and released. I've tried printing the Spark Pages that previously would not print and I can confirm that they do print to a pdf rather than crashing the print preview. While the previous post suggested that print layout is not necessarily optimum, I think the Spark team has done a very good job in handling page layout issues given that Spark doesn't have any significant features designed to control layout. The largest Spark Page that I printed produced a pdf file that was almost 320 Mb in size and included 68 photos using various photo layout options that pushed the page count up to 56 pages. Thanks Spark Team!

Yes! At Last! Tried saving to pdf through Chrome, and it now works: I got all 52 pages, not just page 1 as I did before. There are still some issues - there is too much blank space between sections of text, and some picture captions have been truncated, but it becoming a bit more useful. Can this feature be extended to other browsers?

ik wil sparks printen in pdf

Sorry James, while this works in saving locally, the document will not open as pdf, nor will it print from Chrome, or Firefox, or Safari. Only opens as an html in a browser.

From Chrome, you can Save As and then select Webpage Complete and you will have the whole document locally, though not in a paginated PDF.

Thank you Bill for your explanation of how a Spark page operates. I can see that there are complex technical issues to deal with, and maybe Adobe are not so committed to it to put the resources in to solve it.

What is Spark for? Clearly a number of us have seen possibilities for our own use, so in designing a product with this limitation Adobe must have had an idea of what they thought users needed it for. But that is not clear at all.

If you want to get an idea of what Spark is creating when you are successful in saving a page as a pdf, open the pdf in Microsoft Word or other apps that will let you edit a pdf. You will likely find that the pdf is really composed of a bunch of images that are arrange to look like a "normal" page but that can't be edited. I'm guessing this is a byproduct of the way Spark presents the page to you -- it's essentially generating something very much like a video image of a portion of your Spark page that's been sliced up to fit on a printed page. If you want to think about the complexity of printing, just imagine how difficult it would be to physically print a video you've made onto sheets of paper. Hopefully the Spark team is working on a solution that will generate "normal" pdfs that can be edited by other applications.
