Report Detail Runs Off Page

Thu Mar 07, 2019 1:58 pm
I'm having trouble with output of many of the reports I'm running. It appears "Page Size" utilized by KMyMoney is incorrect for my setup. Each time I print a report that exceeds a page of text, the line of text that prints at the end of the page is split between the current page and the next page. The top portion of the text is printed on the bottom of the current page with the lower portion of text being printed on the next page. I've not been able to find a setting to adjust page or margin sizes thus have not been able to correct the problem. How do I correct this issue, where do I find page settings for reports?

There is no such thing as KMyMoney creates an HTML page and has the underlying browser object do the printing. You might be able to save the report and use an external browser to do the printing. Maybe that helps you to avoid the problem with that last line.

I Have the same problem. Have been a Kmymoney user for 7+ years and have never been able to resolve this issue.
Printing to a pdf file makes no difference. The printed reports run over the end of page, regardless of text, ie. prints
only part of the line splitting it horizontally over the bottom of one page and the top of the next.
Would love to be able to specify position of page break or have a setting to disallow page break within a printed line.

I've just started using the software and this printing issue was the one thing that almost caused me to try some other software. However, this is how I managed to get around it.
1) Load the report that you want to print.
2) Click on the "Copy" tab at the top to copy the report to the clipboard.
3) Paste the report data from the clipboard into a spreadsheet. I use OpenOffice Calc, but it should also work in Microsoft Excel.
4) At this point, I printed the report and it didn't split any of the print lines.

It may not be elegant, but it works. I hope this helps.

Re: Report Detail Runs Off Page  Topic is solved

Hello,

I have been using Kmymoney for over two years. (on Windows)
On the subject of reports I initially found the reports page limiting. Particularly with a large report which would run off the page. When you scroll right you lose the titles to the lines. There is no setting to block the titles (or at least I could not find one). I also ran into problems of copy and pasting into Excel with formats not recognised (Some blank spaces would creep into a few numbers). Libre Office works better for this.
The answer I have found,which is fine for me, is to export the report in csv format and import into a spreadsheet. All the formatting / printing is done through the spreadsheet.

I find the ability to export the reports extremely useful and once you set-up the spreadsheet with a link to the imported page the formatting is sort of automatic.
Trust this helps.

I've tried the Copy and Paste and CSV solutions offered by deano and chrisbrewer. Both overcome the line split problem. Thanks for you insight.
