Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
And for those using a distro that doesn't include PDF printing out of the box, the cups-pdf package should do it. (old Ubuntu distros used to not include it so I always got in the habit of making it one of my first installs) Regards, Adrien On 10/22/20 8:16 PM, Derek Zehr wrote: Nice to know about the htmltopdf package.

Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
I’ve had a similar problem. Saving to PDF directly from Gnucash (3.x in my experience) doesn’t do the paging, titles, headers correctly. It’s been that way for a long time. Best workaround is to use the print-to-pdf pseudo-printer in your operating system. That way, the PDF is generated as if it were being actually printed. Windows 10, for instance, has a “Microsoft Print to PDF” printer selection that works, unless it’s been removed by somebody.

Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
Yes, but I think it is the Draw application of the suite that handles PDF editing. However, since Writer is the app associated to open HTML (exported by GnuCash), most likely that would be used initially for the 'printing to PDF' function.

Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
Yes, editing is another ball of wax. Though I don't think it is maintained, PDFEditor (cross platform) is still available and open source. There are other free (as in beer) PDF editors available for Windows. I just never needed to work with them on that platform as I had by that point, moved on to various *nix systems. LibreOffice does offer some rudimentary PDF editing features that might suit the most popular use cases.

Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
Thanks, that clears some of the mud for me. Thanks for recommending Bullzip, Adrien. I was wishing for a Windows 7 option like that.

Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
It looks to me like a printer problem and not a GnuCash problem. If you are on a Windows PC open Notepad and see if you can print a test document from there.If you are on Linux open your text editor and to the same thing.Ditto for other's like Apple... I guess. Alternately make sure you have the correct printer selected when you try to print from GnuCash. Try opening one of the built in reports and printing it. If none of the above works maybe someone else here on the list can pitch in.
