Printing from browser seems to always align content 'borderlessly' to the edge of the paper (which means it gets cut off)

@nirin My answer was the easiest way for you to print such PDF without installing a extra PDF viewer.

As this is clearly a vivaldi bug that should get fixed
Bugreport to Chromium develpment team:
🪲 https://issues.chromium.org/issues/357889499
@nirin Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker. Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail. Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.

As this is clearly a vivaldi bug
I don't see how this is "clearly" a Vivaldi problem, if it behaves exactly the same in Chromium/Chrome/Opera/Brave. It's just Chromium's crappy PDF viewer and print implementation.
Comparing with Edge is unfair, as Microsoft has made their own PDF/Print implementation - after all they have the developers and $$$ to do so. Vivaldi does not and will likely never have the resources to improve this outside Chromium's code.

On WIndows it is fair. If Microsoft can fix their PDF print, then Chrom(e)ium can do it, too.
But it seems more and more Chromium is not made for commercial use.
Alle this free/open software devs crap more and more useful features in print (Mozilla, Chromium got worse the last years). -
Users of the world, understand that Vivaldi is not this:
-
Except that Chrome/Edge/Chromium by default handles the pdf file in a better way (leaving it in the centre of the page, so it can be printed by all printers).
Vivaldi didn't keep default behaviour. The devs purposely put effort into changing this pdf behaviour, and this resulted in the pdf handling being broken.
If the devs purposely made changes, and introduced bugs as a result, then it's perfectly valid for me to suggest that this is a bug that should be reported, and therefore fixed.
I am not expecting Vivaldi to be a swiss army knife, and I am not expecting it to be some expert pdf handling tool. I just wanted it to have the same basic functionality that the engine it is based upon already had.
Or, alternatively, if they don't want to have anything to do with pdf functionality, then they can remove the functionality entirely. Don't half ass it.

I think people were saying that Chrome/Chromium behave the same way as Vivaldi. Does it work properly for you in Chrome?

My mistake, I know that Chrome used to handle pdfs (for printing) in the same was as Edge, but it has been a long time since I used Chrome (I have been on Edge for a couple years or more) and it seems that currently Chrome handles pdfs the same way as Vivaldi, so I guess something changed over the years!
Oh well, it still functions, just would be nice if the margin settings appeared.

@nirin I fear they are not willing to fix it as such with PDF exists since 2015!!! ⇒ https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41151628
No fun, the chromium devs have it as feature request. -
Better not to wait until Chromium devs wake up from their decade long winter sleep. And Vivaldi? has got the same PDF disease, and can not fix. SCNR
Sad to say, but Best fix is: Use Firefox or Edge or LibreOffice Draw or a PDF viewer program to print PDF.

It is not sad.
Sorry, but don't excuse users who complain about silly and petty things.
If you want to handle PDF use a dedicated application.

Correct. These dedicate work with many features and PDF Standards.
