[GNC] How to get a report in a format which is easy to edit?

I support Adrien here - he is trying to assist you to get to the end-point
you want.

HTML reports can be imported into any decent word processing software. You
don't need to edit the HTML code.

And you can make financial reports look great using a spreadsheet - I've
been doing that for decades. Perhaps you might consider doing a short
course on using spreadsheets for layout?

Additionally, there are pdf editors out there that do a good job (some are
cross-platform) - my pdf's produced from GnuCash are all editable (I use
Linux) - not graphic images - maybe look for another driver/app to achieve
what you need? Years ago when using Windoze & the earliest versions of
Quickbooks which didn't print to pdf I used a free app - I think it was
called something like PDF24 creator - the pdfs produced by it were also
editable.

Anyway, keep trying & you'll find a suitable method to do what you want.

Cheers

Alan
