PDF attachment -- printing

[paul]

Having a PDF of the reference is very useful, but sometimes I would actually like to print a hard copy from within Bookends. This doesn't seem possible (and I've searched this Forum for other solutions) --- is there a way?
Also, I would sometimes like to copy and paste from the attached PDF (from within Bookends Attachments window, but there is no text-selection tool). Any suggestions are gratefully received!

Okay, so I'm partially answering my own question. I was looking at the attachment in a cumbersome way --- by double clicking on the reference then clicking the Attachments pane/button. Much simpler, of course (now I know), is to use the View (menu)/Attachments (or click the icon at the bottom of the window). Now I *can* copy and paste text, but I still haven't worked out how to print the PDF from this pane (is this a WebKit thing)?

Okay, okay I'll stop talking to myself after this , but I did find out an answer to my print question, which I will put here in case someone else searches the forum for the same question in the future. If you turn WebKits off (click on the Action button -- looks like a cog -- at the bottom), then you can click and drag the PDF to your printer icon (e.g. in your Dock).

Hi,

I was out for a while today, but it seems you've found the answers I would have given. You can't print with the WebKit display turned on, but you can always open in Preview with a click and print from there. Or turn of WebKit and do what you did (or again, double-click to open in Preview and print from there).
