Re: [GNC] Export as PDF vs Print to PDF

[Roderick Anderson]

The same is true for Linux.  Well at least Linux Mint 18.3.  I haven't 
tested it yet on Mint 19.x


I save the report as HTML.  Open with Firefox and use the Print to PDF 
extension.  Couple of extra steps but works.

Adrien,

As I understand it, the problem lies with the underlying WebKit rendering 
engine, which is known to have this problem on both Windows and Mac, as you've 
noted. Exporting pdf will only generate a pdf with the problem embedded in it. 
The solution is, as you've also noted, to export html and load that into a 
browser for printing.

Subject: Re: [GNC] Export as PDF vs Print to PDF

Long standing problem for Mac for sure and I think Windows as well.

A work around if you want to use export (I thought they provided the
same result) is to open that export in a web browser and print from
there. I've heard of decent mileage from Firefox and Chrome. I don't
know about Safari, Edge, etc.

Though I think the work around involved the HTML export, not PDF export.

Adrien

Was recently doing some reports with v. 3.10 (yes, I know, update?), and

that some lines are broken horizontally at the bottom & top of pages.
Doesn't happen, though, if I "Print to PDF" using a suitable (Windows
10) operating system driver to create a PDF from the print image. Is
this an oversight? Should "Export to PDF" be more like "Print to PDF?"
Thanks.

Updating is something I'm holding off about unless there's a real reason
to do so, because the Portable Apps version is still stuck in the 3.x
range. I found out in the past that when upgrading across a major
version the files become incompatible with a lower one. So I have to
wait for the Portable Apps version to update before I can do the rest.

Re: [GNC] Printed Reports Being Cutoff

Hi David,

Thanks for the feedback.  I tested exporting as PDF.  It has the same problem.  
It cut’s off account names in the same place as the printed report.

Your suggestion gave me an idea.  I discovered that when I export the file as 
an html file and print it, it does not cut off the account names.



I use a similar process but open the html file with Firefox and use the 
Print To PDF add-on so I have an electronic copy for filing.



Nice.  A bit more work, but I don’t print often, so no big deal.


Same here.  Less than 20 times a year.

Hi,



You may be able to customize the hotkeys for the three menu functions.

It's listing all hotkeys configured in gnucash. You can search for

/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleAutoSplitAction
/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleBasicAction

[GNC] Non monetary transactions?

[Roderick Anderson]

I am the treasurer (volunteer) for a small 501(c)(3).  I have only 
self-inflected OJT and this list for experience so this may be a 
not-GNUCash question.


How, or can, I make non monetary entries.  I'm looking at when I file 
(US) Federal taxes and the State Annual report.  Neither involve money 
or funds but I'd like to be able to document electronically when I 
accomplish them.

Re: [GNC] freezing in any file dialog

Linux Mint 18.3 but I every so often have a similar problem.

When I investigate at system level I see some Java related script 
running amok.  Usually when Firefox has several tabs open to sites that 
want to sell me the latest and greatest.


Try shutting every everything except GnuCash and check with the Windows 
resource manager what is running.

When not killed, after 20 - 30 min, the file dialog gets eventually open and

Re: [GNC] Voucher checks?

[Roderick Anderson]

John, Victor.

Thanks for the replies.  I will have to look at how I have GnuCash 
configured to see if check printing is an option.  I am thinking it is a 
business feature so may not be available to the simple setup I have.  I 
will look later today.


The problem I see with the three-up checks I have is I only write one or 
maybe two checks every other month.  Not sure if my printer will handle 
the one left over from the three up.  Something else to research.


I am considering moving to a different banking organization so would 
need to order new checks so a suggestion as to brand would still be 
appreciated.

GnuCash can print 3-up voucher checks, see

reason not to use it would be if you get checks that don't have the MICR

filling them out by hand you must already have those.

Quick follow up.

Thanks to all for your suggestions and thoughts.

I like the one suggested by John Rails best.  In fact it is kind of what

I already have a Petty Cash which is used to handle small simple expenses.

I'll be adding an account just for handling change.  Makes it simpler 
for me. :-)

Create an account Assets:Current Assets:Cash Box and transfer whatever 
amount you want into it. Book all of the receipts into that account (you 
can batch them up if you don't feel the need to track them individually). 
At the end of the event the Cash Box account and the cash on hand should be 
the same. Your deposit back into the bank account is a simple transfer 
transaction just like the starting withdrawal.

In addition to the other suggestions, I'd look to having sub-accounts
under checking and set flags such that checking includes the
sub-accounts in a roll-up accounting.  With sub-accounts you could break
out the funds held in the checking account for the purposes for which
the funds have been reserved.

Have fun and 73.

Yeah still in Idaho so and because our assets are so small we have only

Federal tax reporting is just a simple.

Somewhere/when the decision must have been made to not carry hardware on

Create income and expense accounts for repeater purchases. Perhaps a
separate expense account for delivery charges.

Also have income accounts for membership dues, refunds (to you from 
returned

purchases), bank interest, and other (infrequent and incidental revenues).
If you have bank charges, you need an expense account for bank interest
charges, you might want an expense account for postage, office supplies,
computer equipment, etc.

Go for it!

[GNC] Payroll add-on, module, software?

[Roderick Anderson]

Looking for a way to handle payroll (US) that works/blends with  GNUCash.

The company I'm helping (actually a friend) is running some software 
that isn't even available any more.


I've exposed her to GNUCash but the biggest hold up is payroll.  She 
does accounting for some (very) small Water Districts and Homeowner 
Associations.


The database and associated files are hosted on a Linux server.  After 
this last crash I really need to get her to move to software I can support.


Any suggestions or pointers to methods to handle payroll with GNUCash as 
the accounting/bookkeeping.



Side trip.  I use GNUCash for a small not-for-profit but have almost no 
accounting experience so have kind-of blundered my way along -- 
accounting-wise. (They keep reelecting me as Treasurer so I must be 
doing something right.  Or, more probably, nobody else wants the job.)  :-)
