Great Program - Horrible Printing or Sharing

I have spent 100’s and mabye 1000’s of hours in this program. I have used it for years. It has tons of strengths but a couple of horrible flaws.

PRINTING is horrible. Unless you consider half of one line printing on page 2 and half of one line printing on page 3 acceptable. At least in the pro version you can insert manual page breaks at section headings, but sometimes it still ignores these.

SHARING is pretty horrible too. It has no PDF export, so you are left to printing to PDF with the flaws above. Export to HTML is buggy and has been for years and years. They blame this on the browser, but I am a web developer and we build outlines in browsers that collapse and expand all the time, so the bug is in the OmniOutliner HTML.

So this makes it very difficult to share you wonderful outline with others.

Other drawbacks is the style interface.. it is pretty clunky and buggy if you use it a lot. But at least it has one.

Now I am still giving it three stars. If it has a decent PDF export it would be right back to 5 stars. But not being able to easily share my work with people who don’t have the program is a HUGE drawback.

It also needs a word count feature, it has been on the request list for years.

I really hoping a public post like this will finally get someone’s attention over at Omni so they will fix these issues.
