No. Gtk does its own drawing at a very low level using a library called Cairo. Cairo gets a buffer from the OS and puts a bitmap in it and the OS displays the bitmap. A PDF created from the bitmap would be a screenshot, not the complete document. Regards, John Ralls > On Jan 16, 2024, at 17:44

You can use variables, thus if you alter your templates to use an inflation multiplier, you future proof the template. GnuCash will prompt you for that variable value each time the SX fires. Simply enter your new multiplier as desired. Regards, Adrien On 1/16/24 5:18 PM, David G. Pickett via
