Jack Dobie (ID: 0000002e55738b58) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/13/2018 Works great, but my only problem is that it sometimes leaves big gaps around images

icon

Susel Arzuaga (ID: 0000000cbb95ea21) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/13/2018 It works, but only when you are out of the editing mode. I had to use the 'shareable' link and then right-click on the page and it shows on the menu. Have not managed to make it work on the editing mode.

Jennifer Larrabee (ID: 000000a89e26a7e1) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/27/2018 Never got it to work. I was able to copy the spark to publisher and print it from there.

zoe Harmer (ID: 000000c9c3224762) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/27/2017 It doesn't work and nobody seems to get back to anybody that is posting problems. I am trying to do this on a PC is there another option?

Leo Guevara (ID: 0000001d60d4a304) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/23/2017 It's the best tool available at the moment(8/23/2017) to make a printable copy from a spark project. I recommend it.
