Predefined PDF-Export

My client has a requirement to export their P&L report, balance sheet report and other reports as a PDF. The structure of the report has 3 elements:

  • Report information: Name of the report, name of the company, additional information such as "YTD view" and "Disclosure in TEUR" (position: top left).
  • Logo: Logo of the respective company (position: top right)
  • Report: illustration of the respective report as a table (below).

Problem:

  • In Board, the P&L report has to be scrolled in order to see all rows.
  • If you select all tree elements as printable area at the same time, you get the correct structure in the PDF, but the report/table is cut off and not completely displayed in the PDF.
  • If report information and logo are set as printable area 1 and the table as printable area 2, the report/table is displayed in full in the PDF (all lines), but the printable areas 1 and 2 are separated by a page break. So report information and logo are on page 1 and the table for the report is on page 2. However, everything should be displayed on one page.

Desired functionality:

  1. For a PDF export, several printable areas should be able to be placed on one page (without page break).
  2. It would make sense to be able to determine when there should be a page break and when there should not be one.
  3. The export format should be storable for each report for all users as a defined PDF report.
  4. The defined PDF report should be exportable/creatable via button (procedure).
  5. It should be possible to send the defined PDF report by email.
