🖨️ PrintFit - Fit Text on One Page

🧩 What PrintFit Does

PrintFit helps you turn pasted Markdown into a clean A4 page that fits on one sheet.

You paste your text, and PrintFit adjusts the font size so the content fills the page without spilling over. It also shows a live print preview, so you can see the page before you print it.

Use it for:

• Resumes
• Meeting notes
• Study sheets
• Weekly reports
• Handouts
• Cover letters
• Menus
• Quick reference pages

• Product info card
• Event flyer
• Menu
• Cover letter

You can switch between them from the example menu in the app.

🧠 How It Works

PrintFit uses a page-fit system that checks how much space your text needs, then chooses the largest font size that still fits on one A4 page.

That means:

• More text = smaller font
• Less text = larger font
• The page stays full without breaking the layout

This makes the result easy to print and easy to read.

🔧 System Needs

PrintFit runs on a modern Windows computer with a web browser.

Recommended setup:

• Windows 10 or newer
• 4 GB RAM or more
• A current version of Chrome, Edge, or another Chromium-based browser
• A screen large enough to show the editor and preview side by side

For best results, keep the browser window wide while editing.

📝 Supported Content

PrintFit works with Markdown, which is plain text with simple formatting.

You can use:

• Headings
• Bullet lists
• Numbered lists
• Bold text
• Italic text
• Links
• Short notes
• Structured blocks of text

If you already write notes in Markdown, you can paste them in with little change.

🖨️ Printing and PDF Export

To print:

1. Open your finished page
2. Press Ctrl + P
3. Choose your printer
4. Select A4 paper
5. Print or save as PDF

For a PDF file, use your browser’s print dialog and choose Save as PDF.

🧭 Basic Layout Tips

To get a clean result:

• Keep headings short
• Use short bullet points
• Avoid very long paragraphs
• Check the preview before printing
• Try a different theme if the page feels crowded
• Reduce content if you want larger text

If your page looks too full, PrintFit will scale the text down to fit.
