/*

Export Excalidraw to PDF Pages: Define printable page areas using frames, then export each frame as a separate page in a multi-page PDF. Perfect for turning your Excalidraw drawings into printable notes, handouts, or booklets. Supports standard and custom page sizes, margins, and easy frame arrangement.

**Easily split your Excalidraw drawing into printable pages!**

If you find this script helpful, consider [buying me a coffee](https://ko-fi.com/zsolt). Thank you.

---

### How it works

- **Define Pages:** Use frames to mark out each page area in your drawing. You can create the first frame with this script (choose a standard size or orientation), or draw your own frame for a custom page size.
- **Add More Pages:** Select a frame, then use the arrow buttons to add new frames next to it. All new frames will match the size of the selected one.
- **Rename Frames:** You can rename frames as you like. When exporting to PDF, pages will be ordered alphabetically by frame name.

---

### Important Notes

- **Same Size & Orientation:** All frames must have the same size and orientation (e.g., all A4 Portrait) to export to PDF. Excalidraw currently does not support PDFs with different-sized pages.
- **Custom Sizes:** If you draw your own frame, the PDF will use that exact size—great for custom page layouts!
- **Margins:** If you set a margin, the page size stays the same, but your content will shrink to fit inside the printable area.
- **No Frame Borders/Titles in Print:** Frame borders and frame titles will *not* appear in the PDF.
- **No Frame Clipping:** The script disables frame clipping for this drawing.
- **Templates:** You can save a template document with prearranged frames (even locked ones) for reuse.
- **Lock Frames:** Frames only define print areas—they don't "contain" elements. Locking frames is recommended to prevent accidental movement.
- **Outside Content:** Anything outside the frames will *not* appear in the PDF.

---

### Printing

- **Export to PDF:** Click the printer button to export each frame as a separate page in a PDF.
- **Order:** Pages are exported in alphabetical order of frame names.

---

### Settings

You can also access script settings at the bottom of Excalidraw Plugin settings. The script stores your preferences for:
- Locking new frames after creation
- Zooming to new frames
- Closing the dialog after adding a frame
- Default page size and orientation
- Print margin
