OmniFocus’ print template is styled using CSS. If OmniFocus finds a printing style sheet called HTMLExportTemplate.html in its sandboxed Application Support directory, it will use this instead of the standard template. If you’re familiar with using CSS, you can make your own adjustments to customize the print layout.
Any changes you make to the your HTMLExportTemplate.html file will be used upon your next print. If you want to go back to the default, just remove that file from that folder and OmniFocus will go back to using its built-in settings.
To get started, you can download these example style sheets:
-
Default Print Template: As the name suggests, this is a copy of the print template OmniFocus uses by defualt, which you can use as a starting point for your own customizations.
-
All-Black Print Template: Changes the color value of
.context, .project, .dates, .notes, .projectcountto#333333, so notes and dates will print as black instead of gray. -
Compact Print Template: Changes the action info’s
margin-bottomvalue to.1emto fit more lines on the printed page.
