Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
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 Monteleone wrote: 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 time was superior to Adobe with respect to the standard, but it has been many years since I've read that. So if the OP is already using LO, no need for Bullzip as LO can export/print to PDF directly. Also, if a user has a *nix system on their network, they can easily set up a cups-pdf printer on that system as a shared printer for anyone else on the network to use. This still doesn't get around the GnuCash Webkit issue though. You'd still need to export as HTML and go from there. Also, if on a *nix system, and you don't sweat the command line, there is an htmltopdf package most likely available to you for install as well, so you can skip the clicks of a browser or LO.

Re: [GNC] "Unrealized Losses" in Trial Balance Report
Hi all I mentioned the following workaround the other day but have seen no response. Am I correct in thinking the workaround is necessitated by a bug i.e. the Trial Balance report uses "Unrealized Losses" (which results in the report not balancing) instead of "Trading Gains/Losses" (which does). Should I log this as a bug?

Re: [GNC] Button1 & Button2
Paul, The confusion there possibly arises from an attempt to provide a description which is both OS independent and specific device independent. The documenters have to cover single button mice in MacOSX, and a huge variety of mouse devices in the Windows and Linux environments as well as trying be LH/RH independent for those of us with other handedness. Two of my mice have 5 buttons and two scroll wheels and their functions are totally reprogrammable at the OS level and in some cases at the individual application level, The button1 normally refers to the LH button and button 2 to the RH button.

Re: [GNC] Button1 & Button2
I was under the impression that "Button1" refers to the primary button, and "Button2" refers to the secondary one. Those were typically called the left mouse and right mouse buttons, respectively, but with customizable hardware, directional references were discouraged. But, I'm not any sort of expert.

Re: [GNC] cash basis and accrual basis
And further, if you’re working with the business features, you will need to post invoices with a post date matching the period in which payment is received. This may involve unposting and reposting. They have to be posted to print without the “invoice in progress…” notation, but then if you want strict cash accounting you get to change the posted date to a period in which you expect to receive payment, and possibly again when your expectations turn out to be wrong. With bills it’s easier, as you have control over when you pay them. > On Oct 22, 2020, at 5:14 AM, Adrien Monteleone > wrote: > > It isn't a 'view'.

It isn't a 'view'. If you want to work on cash basis, you record the transaction when money physically (or digitally) changes hands.

Re: [GNC] Make PDF from reports
I’ve had a similar problem. Saving to PDF directly from Gnucash (3.x in my experience) doesn’t do the paging, titles, headers correctly. It’s been that way for a long time. Best workaround is to use the print-to-pdf pseudo-printer in your operating system. That way, the PDF is generated as if it were being actually printed. Windows 10, for instance, has a “Microsoft Print to PDF” printer selection that works, unless it’s been removed by somebody.
