Printing, reports etc.

[#1]

Using Version 8.5

I find :-

• Print all sheets - prints first sheet multiple times.
• Report generator - clumsy tool, difficult to configure, and slow to develop.
• 3D charts lose their 3D appearance when printed.
• printing objects can sometimes result in huge files that take 30 minutes to print?

Has anyone else encountered these Issues?

Does Version 9 fix any of them?

If not is Qliktech looking to fix any of them?

Found that 8.50 SR5 fixes the print all-sheets option.

Well I spoke too soon. On anything more than a simple document, the charts print out as grey squares, sometimes with an hour glass in them.

Anyone else having this issue?

There is an option for charts to print in black and white ensure this isnt ticked!

I find sometimes if chart/dial has shadow when printing out in QV report it looks a bit ugly so recommend turning this off too.

I think you maybe using a marcor to generate reports and its probably print out before calculations in charts has completed ( only suggestion for egg timer problem )

Switching off Shadows and 3d effect does improve printing thanks.

However, I do not use macros. I think the code must perform the "print all sheets" function bu cycling through the sheets and rendering the images in an internal screen buffer, as it cycles it takes a snapshot too soon before the charts have had time to refresh. - just a thought, .... still can't print!
