Summary

The user frequently exports Obsidian notes to PDF and struggles with content being cut off mid-paragraph across page breaks because the editor lacks a visual indicator (like Word’s page view) showing where pages end during writing. They seek a plugin or CSS solution that displays page limits, noting that they frequently adjust font size.

Key Insights

1. Need for visual page boundaries within the standard editor view.
2. Current workflow suffers from post-export formatting issues (cut-off content).
3. Feature must adapt dynamically to user-set font size changes.

Enhancement Suggestions

Analysis

This addresses a critical workflow mismatch between Obsidian’s continuous canvas and users who require print/PDF formatting parity while editing. Dynamic page break visualization is complex due to reliance on export settings (like paper size, margins, and dynamic font scaling).
