if the columns of text match line for line, why not use two NSTextViews side by side? You’ll still likely need to handle pagination, but you don’t have to draw each one. A WebKit view may also be another option. > On Mar 18, 12:47 pm, Brian Postow <[email protected]> wrote: >> I'm trying to print a document.

Nope, you’re not missing anything. If you want to ensure that pagination doesn’t occur during the middle of one of your images, you have to handle that yourself. Our old Cocoa Programming book covered this. The PaginationDemos are still available for download at www.cocoaprogramming.net. Mind you, Xcode can’t read the project, so you’ll need to make a new project and drag the classes and nib in. (or just get the ideas from it).
