[lily4jedit-user] what happened to print option from pdf viewer?

[chip <ch...@wi...>]

I just upgraded my lilypond/jedit/lilytool and find I can only preview 
pdf files now, while in the older version I was able to print those pdf 
files. Now I cannot print them anymore, I have to open them in yet 
another app to view/print the file? what sense does this make? Please 
bring back the print option in the pdf viewer.

Because the pdf viewer we used couldn't be docked, and had several 
annoying bugs, we sort of rewrote that functionality. That's why we 
removed the print functionality.
Also, the JPedal viewer sometimes renders the pdf incorrectly, so it is 
more safe to use Adobe Reader to print.
Though I will look into putting printing back to jPedal, but perhaps 
that will not be easy.

The new PDF preview makes perfect sense to me. The integrated preview
allows to quickly see what your music looks like, while its rendering
engine is not really convenient for quality-printing anyway.
If you configure an external PDF viewer (e.g. Adobe Reader, Foxit or
Sumatra) in the LilyPondTool options panel, you can even use a
keyboard shortcut to open it.

Anyway, I've added that to the tracker as:
