GNUCash 3.0: Report Printing problems

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes and no - printing the HTML directly or via PDF puts in multiple page breaks - eg blank page, heading, page break, report body, page break.

 

I'll stick to the Excel solution for now I think😊

 

Cheers

...Steve

Hi Steve

 

2-4 can be easily solved by File > Export > Export Report to file, and opening the file in a modern web browser for printing.

 

The report generation code exports to HTML natively, but is limited by the webkit implementation used. A modern web browser will obey the html rules better.
