Print entire report Enhanced mode thru Upfront 7.1

[einyel]

Hi all,

I'm dealing with Upfront 7.1 "Enhanced mode" and the issue is that when I try to print the report thru the brwoser print menu (file --> print) only one page is printed.
- Export to PDF doesn't help me much as some columns are displayed on another page.
- I don't wanna turn to Generic display (DHTML) 'coz I wanna keep the new functionalties from "Enahnced" set in PPES.
- Copy&Paste to Excel gives a lot of work on fomatting rows&columns for a reasonable look&feel.

Workarounds:
- I was thinking on a custom button on PPES with a function like "send to printer" all the Powerplay Web report in HTML
- Another solution would be to create a JavaScript or HTML code to add it to the proper file (perhaps xslt_frameset.html) in order to print properly

Unfortunately I'm not that much technical to do that
Any clue?
All suggestions will be welcome.
Thanks to all in advance

What type of report are you trying to print? Cube report? If so, did you export to pdf and then print the pdf? or, remotely publish PDF to upfront works well. PPX should work well too.

There's a standar report published into Upfront. I create a custom view with some nested rows and let's say 5 columns (showing measures).
When I export it to PDF only 2 out of 5 columns are displayed on the same page, the other ones appear on another page meanwhile before the upgrade only file-->print front menu browser was enough to print the whole document.
Users don't have Powerplay Windows.
The workaround I'm giving by now is export to Excel and then delete useless rows & columns and formatting.

The problem of enhanced mode is the use of frames. When you see a PowerPlay Web report, the dimension tree is a frame, the banner is another frame and the right side is a frameset containing 3 frames (data, action (split view crosstab & chart), toolbar). I've tried by inserting code an istruction to print the data frame but I didn't succeed. I don't know that much on HTML & JScript althought I can undesrtand some figures.

Any clue,

Thanx for Ur response
Kind regards
