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

If Win7 is still supported by GnuCash as a target, then I can see keeping it, but Win10+ has had Print to PDF built-in by default. Would it be possible to change the button to 'print' to that device on any OS directly, bypassing Webkit for that purpose? Regards, Adrien On 1/16/24 2:06 PM,

I think that has something to do with the mess of Webkit versions between Mac, Win, & *nix. If I recall correctly, the button was left for a future fix, but set to bring up the printer dialog for now which can then use the system PDF 'printer'. Since all three operating systems now have this
