printing from MT

Post by magical46 » Mon Oct 23, 2017 3:55 pm

Hi, I wasn't quite sure where to put this question on the forum so please move it if this is the wrong place. I was looking through the FAQ section of the wiki as I wanted to print off some graphs/reports when I noticed this
Can the reports be exported to a PDF file?
No, unfortunately this is currently not possible. PDFs in general are very difficult to work with and I have not yet been able to find a usable script or way of exporting the data in some acceptable format. You can however use some online services that will create a screenshot of the entire page and then simply use that as an image and insert into a document and export as PDF.
This is fine but then on looking at my site under the weather station tab, reports there is a link at the top of the page which says "PDF", if I click it, it seems to go to a blank page. Now this may be due to some error with my host server or my setup (I could well have missed something somewhere). So my question is can I create a pdf or not? Its not a vital thing as I could do the same with a screenshot as you stated in your reply on the FAQ's

Hi,
I need to delete this, it is possible to use PDFs now, this is just something I wrote long time ago and forgot to delete.

I think the reason you see a blank page is again something odd going on on your server (because we know many other things dont work for you). Im afraid I cannot help you, but thanks for leting me know, I will delete it from FAQ
