Improve documents feature (fill space, automatically split to better fit on fixed sizes like letter, A4)

Dan Verton

U.S. letter dimensions for exporting documents in pdf do not export in 8.5" x 11" - they are 12.1 x 16" - Can you fix the export function so that it exports the document in the correct dimension?

Have AI write to fit the pages

Felicia Wright

When using AI to write, it provides content that goes beyond a page length, which then gets cut off when downloaded as a PDF.

hey Felicia Wright thanks for reporting.

Can you perhaps share a screenshot or two? Would help our engineering team debug? If I recally correctly, we used to not cut off PDFS so I'm wondering if this is a bug

Fixed document sizes

Kaj Alftan

When geneating a A4, the scale content toggle doesn't guarantee that if printed out as a pdf, the content wouldn't leak over the edge and hence go missing.

Your most recent update

Infinity Life Coaching LLC

Your most recent update seems to have thrown off the creation of the documents.  If you're trying to create printable pdf's your formatting is way of!!!!  It's extremely disappointing.  
After creation there are lengthy areas of the page that remankain unused like you added to the page, but left the imaging format at its previous specs.  
Make this correction.  
Thank You 
A disappoited fan.

Just wondering if there's been progress on this? I just imported a document, and with the pictures it made one page explode to 3 pages long, despite the setting clearly says I wanted LTR. When I try to print, it resizes it to a point where it is unreadable. I cannot unresize because everything else becomes unreasonably large that they don't fit on paper.

Need more control over page size

Molly McCowan

I often design eBooks. But when I choose US Letter, it exports as a PDF with 12.5” width (instead of 8.5” width). I want to be able to input my exact page size.

Automatically reflow text from one card to another

Jeff Shuck

Would be great to auto-flow long text from one card to another! Wow would this be a stand-out capability!

If this already exists, please let me know. :-)

Fill space on card when generating documents

Raul Alfredo Tello

Se que ya lo comenté anteriormente, pero es que creo que es tan importante que la generación de documentos utilize todo el espacio disponible que me atrevo a comentarlo de nuevo, Perdón.

Acabo de probar generar un documento a partir de un archivo sumamente técnico y en las instrucciones adicionales le pedí que adaptara el lenguaje para hacerlo entendible para alumnos de 13 años, lo hizo tan bien que ver el espacio en blanco que quedaba eb cada pagina me hizo acordar ese pedido anterior.

Need consistent page sizes and to be able to control the size

Jennifer Amdur Spitz

Document size output is erratic. there should be some controls over page size in output. The 'cards' are erratically sized depending on content. This happens when I paste in text I've written. The platform only seems good and making up stuff from thin air and making it look good -- even if its incoherent. I like the promise of this platform, but as it is I cannot use it to actually get work done. I've tried severral times to have it design actual documents that need layout and design. nope.
