Dear John, Michael, Derek, David and all others, Thank you so very much for replying to me so rapidly with such excellent advice. I am new not only to gnucash but to the concept of list mail. I apologize for my errors and misuse, but I am so grateful for the assistance that you all have been providing. Thank you.
First, the export to HTML was a perfect workaround. I now have very legible reports. Thank you for that. Then, I just want to note that these reports are for my personal use; no one else normally sees them. I made the inquiry because I was having difficulty reading the split text. I want to make it easier on myself and all of you have made that happen. I cannot be happier with this system and the time and effort each of you have volunteered to help me. I hope, in time, that I will have something to contribute from experience. Best wishes, /s/ Alan 14343 North Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, Apt. 1009 Scottsdale, AZ 85260-3634 (480) 657-7543 Home (480) 922-0484 Text (844) 395-7098 Fax -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-devel <gnucash-devel-bounces+aauerbach=poolthing....@gnucash.org> On Behalf Of John Ralls Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2020 9:15 AM To: Michael Hendry <hendry.mich...@gmail.com> Cc: gnucash-devel <gnucash-devel@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC-dev] PDF Reports To complete that comment, pagination is fixed on webkit2, but that works only on Linux. The WebKitGtk maintainers removed support for Windows as part of the WebKit 1->2 transition and on MacOS WebKit2 Javascript fails to return anything so charts don't render. The simplest workaround is to export the HTML, load that in a native browser, and print or generate a PDF from there.
