Hello everyone (also tagging @Ruggero_Piccoli ),
we have the same problem and I wanted to ask for the best approach.
I see an August release but it is greyed out and there is no Release note.
Should I update to the August release to fix the problem or should I wait for a May SR 2 - and if yes, how long would it take?
All the best
Johannes

Hello @Johannes_Becker 

Qlik NPrinting does not have an August 2023 release. As for the May 2023 SR2 release: I do not currently have a release date, but the release notes will be uploaded as soon as one becomes available. I recommend subscribing to the release notes board to receive the alert.

All the best,
Sonja

Ah, it's Qlik filter logic, greyed out of course means does not exist, I somehow exprected it to behave differently 😄
Thanks for the reply

[Ruggero_Piccoli]

@Johannes_Becker Sorry for the delay and yes as per @Sonja_Bauernfeind suggestion you have to wait May 2023 SR2 release and the following.

Hi All

I can't find Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR 2   for this issue to fix.

Can anyone suggest where should I find this? Or, is it at all released ?

Thanks

Ani

Hi guys,

You do not have to wait till May 2023 release of NPrinting. Just copy the Qlik.Reporting.Adaptors.dll file to the C:\Program Files (x86)\NPrinting\Designer\libs folder. Make sure you take the backup of the previous DLL file. And restart your PC. That should solve the problem. The DLL file is located at the top of the issue reported here as shown in the image below.

Hi Ashish

Thanks for your time in responding my query. Actually, this option won't work for me as I can't install MS office (excel or anything) in n printing server. Will it work at all if i install only n printing designer in the n printing server (where we dont have MS office) and follow this step ? Because ultimately designer will need MS office to talk to the templates as per my understanding.
