[GNC] how to copy "Customers Overview" table for spreadsheet.

[Adrien Monteleone]

The print function is disabled on that tab.

Even with it available, at best you’re going to get an ‘image’ pdf that still has to be OCRd and that is notoriously difficult with images of tables. (though there is some software out there that tries valiantly, it is still a trial and error process)

Another option is a screenshot, but still has the OCR problem.

Otherwise, parsing the data file is probably the best bet until an export function is written.

Adrien
