You're not wrong, although the aspect ratio of the export does present a
problem sometimes.

There is already code to preview, and whilst doing it "cleanly" might
take a little though, I don't think there would be too hard to implement
as you suggest.

Is there any situation where we might want to mark an explicit "print
area" and have it persist on the schematic as some kind of object on the
page?
