Using OS X 10.5.1, and OO 2.3/2.4
I'm trying to get a database up and running for my brothers business.
I have a "form" generated, so he can enter all of the pertinent
information, into the database. Each "form" is for one individual.
What I cannot do, is get the form to print or make a PDF, so he can
print the form(s) out for the individual contacts.
If I go into "edit" mode, and export the form as a PDF, it is an
editable PDF, but cannot save it.
I know this may sound disjointed, and I apologize for this. My brother
waited till today to ask for help.
Any pointers on getting the FORM printable, and staying with the
ability to enter new data?
Thanks.
hmmm- There was a problem with printing forms under 2.3.0 but with
2.3.1 and the 2.4 developer build there is no problem under Win, Linux
anyways, I do it all the time and have setup others to do the same.
Looking at the Community forum real quick however, there are a bunch of
folks asking about print problems on the Mac but not about Base forms
per si, rregular Writer files, and PDF's.
Can your brother print a regular Writer file without any problems?
If that is the case then perhaps try this.
Open the form in edit mode - Save a copy of the form as an odt file.
Now open the odt file and select View>Toolbars>Form Design
Switch into "design Mode ON" and open the "Form Navigator" ( from this
toolbar )
You have to set the datasource name and table names again for the
dataform controls here.
When done save your odt file, switch back to "design Mode Off" - you
should have your data and you should be able to print.
At least that is what I would try off the bat.
