wish: add direct print + pdf/png/ps export mostly for report/graph

[Ray Facer]

How do you print out from HomeBank?

I can not find the print button or export via pdf file.

Regards,
Ray

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

At the present time, you can't.
This is something that still to be implemented.

[Deserttaxguy (jeff-deserttax)]

Dear Maxime,
Nice work so far. I would volunteer to the help specify some print formats if you would like some assistance with setting up report configurations. I know you are very busy. Good work on your project.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

Gtk has a native print functionnality set, I have already tested and will probably uses.
This permit to direclty print or save into a pdf file.

[nomnex (nomnex)]

I subscribe to the thread. This feature would be more than welcome. Thanks

[Odin Hørthe Omdal (velmont)]

Yes, I think it is frowned upon to send in a screenshots to the authorities for my one-man-firm.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

Just because I'm a quite printless man, what all of you need so much to print, and what to print from HomeBank ?

[Deserttaxguy (jeff-deserttax)]

Hello Maxime,
We need to be able to print out summary reports for review or to use as
documentary support in preparing tax returns or other information.

I would love this functionality to be included, I may add it myself.

I already spent all of 2 minutes to change the automatic transactions maximum days from 100 to 36500, increasing that number definitely needed doing :)

[Eric Forgeot (eforgeot)]

I think at least a PDF output would be great. Direct print could wait if the PDF option was available (or the opposite, on Linux it's easy to use the build-in PDF converter when a print is needed).

I'm a printless man myself too, but being able to get a PDF to send to third parties is quite needed.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

So most of you need to print mainly from the report dialogs.
Can you specify which one is the most needed for print? statistics ? any other
My goal is to organize the print implementation step by step, has I would probably enable to do all print part at once.
So I will implement this by priority order if possible, and include maybe the most urgent one into v4.5

[JAYANTILAL B KALAIYA (jayantkalaiya)]

Dear Maxime Doyen,
I need to print the following (in the order of priority):
1. Account Statement for the period (For each account)
2. Account Summary&nbsp;3. Income , Expenditure &amp; Balance Report (All Statistics- Categaory wise, sub category ,etc.)4.Others can wait
Thanks for taking up on priority in v4.5.
Yours sincerely,Jayantilal B Kalaiya

So, clearly if I enabel pdf export for account window and statistic it will be ok I think. Please confirm.

[Zoubidoo (zoubidoo)]

To build upon the above suggestions, it would be useful to print or create a pdf for the following:

* Transaction list (homebank already produces this) with totals.
* Balance sheet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_sheet (example: https://decollins1969.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/wb_balance_sheet1.gif)
* Income statement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_statement (example: http://www.immi.gov.au/about/reports/annual/2006-07/html/_img/Financials/GIFS_financials/income-statement/financials_extractedPage275.jpg)

For the above, it would be helpful to be able to specify:
* categories to include
* date range

[Larry Short (larrshort)]

First thanks for the new look in 4.5 and cleaner English terminology.
Second balance sheets and income statements are business software and is not appropriate for free software.
Lastly, just add pdf output for all existing reports, and skip print. Print drivers change with every Windows version and will always be a source of bugs. Print from pdf and let adobe keep drivers up to date.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

So, as a summary, here is what you will be able to export as pdf:
1) account transaction, according the current view (with active filter)
2) statistics report: graph + list

[Mobutu Seseseko (mobutu-seseseko)]

Hi, I support this, thanks.

[Alvin Kutil (akutil86)]

wish : add print or pdf output
Agree with thread pdf output before print capability. Much needed, should be upgraded to primary feature and worked on a monthly basis. Tax season is upon us, but feature should be finished before 2018.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

by the way: I am also changing the graph display to be able to export to pdf: inspired from here
https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart#donut

[Yves (yvesbe)]

Avez-vous une date de mise à disposition de cette fonctionnalité ?
J'envisage d'utiliser homebank pour transmettre mes comptes à mon comptable et celui-ci me demande des pdf avec la liste de mes transactions.

Si cette fonction n'est pas prévue pour l'année en cours, je vais devoir me tourner vers un autre logiciel.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

I will release the transaction export to pdf (in RC state) in 5.1.7, to come this week-end.

[Yves (yvesbe)]

Hi there,

I downloaded the 5.1.7 and tryed to export to pdf the accounts.
There is no export, no pdf.

I tried to save it under different place (i.e. no special folder ) and different name (with or without special caracters).

None worked.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

- open an account window
- testing menu
- export to PDF

...

[Yves (yvesbe)]

Bonjour,
Cela ne fonctionne pas.
Voici ce que j'ai fais:

- Ouverture du fichier comptable
- Double clic sur le nom du compte bancaire dont je veux le détail
- choix d'un dossier spécifique ( C:\Users\Yves\Documents\chatterie\2017 )
- je laisse le nom proposé ( ING (professionel).pdf )
- je clique sur exporter
- je vais voir dans le dossier C:\Users\Yves\Documents\chatterie\2017
==> pas de pdf créé
==> pas de répertoire créé

processeur intel core I5

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

cet export reste pour le moment experimental (RC state), donc c'est tout à fait possible.
suggestions:
- testez avec le fichier exemple
- lancez homebank a partir d'un cmd.exe pour voir si des messages s'affichent

[Yves (yvesbe)]

Bonsoir,

Je sais que c'est toujours en testing, pas de soucis pour ça :)

- je viens de tester avec le fichier d'exemple: même résultat, pas d'output.
- depuis un cmd, pas de message d'erreur, je colle le contenu inintéressant
de la fenetre dos (voir en fin de message)
- si vous avez un mode debug avec log, je veux bien passer dans ce mode et
faire le test puis vous renvoyer le log. (voir installer une version de
debug si vous avez).

[rugk (48509946-3)]

Hmm, may you speak English so everybody understands it?

BTW I've discovered that the PDF is always dumped into my home directory, no matter what directory you actually choose.

Fedora 27, Homebank v1.5.7

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

@rugk: not all people speak english.
Yves don't find the file after expot to pdf, and you are right the folder used is the one configured as export into the import/export section of the preferences, this is the actual bug for this.

@Yves: le fichier est toujours exporté dans le dossier configuré dans les préférences, section Import/Export

[Yves (yvesbe)]

Hi there,

Sorry, i didn't knew you prefered english. i'll do my best in that
language.

I changed preferences to C:\Users\Yves\Documents\chatterie to be sure to
spot exported files easily.
I tryed but no file was created there.

I closed and relaunched homebank for the case preferences where only read
at start up.
I exported againe: No file was created.

I also tried to specify the same folder as in preferences to avoid a bug of
different folders : Still no file created whith testing -> export pdf.

I now tried the same case , but renaming the pdf file to avoid "(" and ")"
in its name (account name countains those parenthesis). It also included a
space in the name.
it still doesn't work.

To handle pdf files , i have acrobat reader dc and pdf creator, as you can
see in the attached file. Perhaps don't i have the same readers as you and
it's not working due of that ?

i'm willing to help as much as i can (i need the pdf feature :) ). If you
want me to test something, just tell me.

Best regards,

beta will come very soon.

[Gregory Fenton (gregoryfenton)]

Many thanks, it has indeed been some time :)

[Roger Steele (rds22)]

I'm a new HomeBank user and was disappointed when I didn't see a print function but I found this thread and am now trying the 5.5-rc. The printing is working well. Thank you very much for all the work you have done Maxime, the printing is important - many people will appreciate it. Thank you again!!
All the Best for 2021,
Roger
