Re: [GNC] Export as PDF vs Print to PDF
Interesting, I thought Webkit on Linux was at a proper version to not have this issue. (could be the version on Mint 18.3 is indeed older) Regards, Adrien On 7/28/20 9:42 AM, Roderick Anderson wrote: The same is true for Linux. Well at least Linux Mint 18.3.

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.

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.
