Modify the 'Markups List / Export to .pdf' output appearance

I would like to modify the 'Markups List / Export to .pdf' output appearance. Specifically:

Increase the size of the .pdf screenshot graphic so that it takes up half or all of the page width.

Reduce or eliminate the center column that lists the selected columns.

Reduce or eliminate the column on the right that re-prints the markup content text.

I have experimented with flow and table sizes, thumbnail sizes, and padding, without success.

I tried opening the related .bcx file to see if I could edit that file somehow, but Stapler is looking for a converter that does not appear to exist.

Is there a way to modify the built in column widths when markups are exported to a .pdf?

Thanks

the only thing you can do is keep the column widths that you have in your Markups list. Even then that only works with a single PDF and isn't even an option for a Batch export.

I would personally like a Print Preview feature that would allow this. I would definitely upvote this one.
