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

Nice to know about the htmltopdf package. On Ubuntu, the closest I found was wkhtmltopdf. But Ubuntu does have Print to PDF built in, and it works great. I'll be using my Ubuntu system more often than the Windows 7 in the long run anyway. Thanks Derek On 2020-10-20 9:45 p.m., Adrien

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. If I recall correctly, LO's PDF generation at one

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

For still using Windows 7. Can't you still get LibreOffice for 7?  I'm pretty sure if you have a document open under "Writer" you can export as PDF. The point is, I used to be under Win 7 and used the LibreOffice Suite (instead of MS Office) Michael

Thanks, that clears some of the mud for me. Thanks for recommending Bullzip, Adrien. I was wishing for a Windows 7 option like that. Derek On Tuesday, October 20, 2020 13:13 EDT, Michael or Penny Novack wrote:  On 10/20/2020 12:02 PM, Adrien Monteleone wrote: > If I recall correctly, there

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

Hello, I just created my first-ever report in GnuCash, to report some finances with a forum I'm involved with. This is the window I get when I hit Make PDF, and specify a valid file name in my documents folder. GnuCash Version: 4.1 Build ID: 4.1+(2020-07-25) on Windows 7. Hope it something
