Thank you this helps a lot. 1. If I export to HTML and open in my browser, I am able to print (as PDF) the rather long and wide document budget report (12 periods). I scale the content so all of it appears on one page. (very small but it can be magnified 😊)
2. Copy and paste to a spreadsheet. Yes that works! I select-ALL, paste and there is in the spreadsheet!

Till it gets fixed I see two methods available to you: 1)Use the HTML export function. Open the HTML file in a web browser. Print from there. (proper PDF printing is also possible if you have a PDF printer installed in your OS) This will likely NOT paginate properly. 2)Copy and paste the contents of the report to a spreadsheet or text document, format as desired and print. Spreadsheets especially give you more pagination control as you can define print ranges of columns and rows as desired. (you also get the benefit of being able to do additional analysis) Personally, I use option 2 currently for the budget report itself without printing because I don’t care for the limitations of the current report. I copy the GnuCash report to a spreadsheet, then do the math I prefer to see. In particular, I like to see how I’m performing YTD based on the YTD budget, not the entire annual budget. I also like to see quarterly numbers without having to make separate budgets. (GnuCash allows multiple budgets, but if you want quarterly numbers, you have to make a special quarterly budget - you can’t get that in a report from a yearly budget) Regards, Adrien > On Dec 12, 2017, at 3:28 AM, Dave & Tracy E via gnucash-user > <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > > Hi. > > > > My "budget report" has 12 periods, thus is it quite wide.
