Re: [GNC-dev] WebKitGtk now defaults to Gtk4

Just want to check that I understand the problem correctly. Is there a reason why we can't send HTML reports to the browser, as suggested, then print or save to pdf from the browser? Do we need to generate postscript or pdf directly from gnucash? I know that at the moment there can be problems

Thanks John, If the internal links are indeed possible, I'd think HTML to the browser would be the way to go. As David noted, if someone wants a PDF, they can save it from there. But all is not lost with respect to a direct PDF export. That might be possible by first generating the HTML,
