Printing in L 4.3

Taking advantage of the new features in the 4.3 ed, I'm uploading my sermons via the Personal Books option, in order to create a catalogue of them and manage them from here, however when I try to print my uploaded sermon, it says that function is not available, the only option is export. Can anyone help?

Teofil,

Welcome to the forums. Right now all my Personal Books do not support printing. I don't recall any discussion about this issue, but perhaps someone who knows why and what we can anticipate in the future will be able to chime in on this thread.

I have just tried this and printed a portion of one of my Personal Books just like any other Logos resource.

Mine was a "Monograph", what types were you trying to print?

(Don't know if that is relevant, just trying to determine any differences!)

Welcome Teofil!

when I try to print my uploaded sermon, it says that function is not available, the only option is export.

I just tested this with a quite complex resource. From what I can see so far: you may select as much text as you want (including pictures) in the resource and subsequently invoke the Print/Export feature, and all will work well with printing from the option "selected text" (I tested this with having FreePDF print a 89 pages document very nicely) - however: the option "this section" will show the error message you referred to - and once there, Logos is stuck and won't allow you to go back to printing "selected text".

However, after I took out all pictures from the *.docx resource file and compiled again, everything works fine:

In my preliminary understanding, this is a bug and your posting title should probably read better "BUG: Printing PB with pictures in it in L4.3" Hopefully, this is addressed as part of the bugfixing concerning picture-handling in PB that Logos has announced for the next release.

Please try whether the workaround printing "selected text" is working for you and come back to us.

Hope this helps,

Hi Graham,

try printing a portion of a PB with a picture in it, whether it works. Btw, I tested with an English language "Monograph" with footnotes and headers in it.

Yes it works fine here!

Mark,

would you try the text-selection workaround? If I see this correct, it should make the PBs printable (English language monographs at least)

Hopefully we get this nailed down.

It allows me to print with text selection but only selected text. If I select text, the print panel lists the section headings under the Use These Sections area, but if I select any the section grays out and I get the 'this panel supports export only' warning.

I do have normal text before heading in each of my PBs.

This confims the bug. Under 4.3 it seems advisable (or, if you want to print, nearly mandatory) to make the first line of text a Heading style.

If I select text, the print panel lists the section headings under the Use These Sections area, but if I select any the section grays out and I get the 'this panel supports export only' warning.

Did you try to select several chapters? That worked for me.
