[GNC] Cash Flow Barchart printout omits right-hand edge of page

[Michael Hendry]

Thanks, Ken,

It hadn’t occurred to me to adjust the on-screen image’s size BEFORE requesting the export - it’s usual to give this sort of instruction when at the printing stage with a “fit to paper size” or “choose scale” option.

Rather than go through the trial and error process (resizing to 75% and seeing if that gives the desired printed result) I think I might just stick with the export-to-HTML==>open in browser==>print or export as PDF sequence, as it seems to produce the desired result.

If I did not change the orientation to landscape, the graph would be to large to allow the color key to print and it would be cutoff. Could this be your issue?  Try seeing if you can change the orientation to landscape and see if you get the whole graph with the scale at the far right side.
