Print preview and print output

  • Respect the property whether the document would like to be scaled for printing as per PdfRenderer.ShouldScaleForPrinting.
  • When scaling a document for printing the aspect ratio should be preserved.
  • Do not inset the content with any margins from the PrintAttributes as the application is responsible to render it such that the margins are respected.
  • If document page size is greater than the printed media size the content should be anchored to the upper left corner of the page for left-to-right locales and top right corner for right-to-left locales.
