Printing document in WebI

I’m trying to print a WebI document that is several pages. However, when I print to printer it only prints the WebI frames, not the document. When I do a File/Print Preview I only get the first page of the document. TIA for any thoughts.

You have to use the WEBi print icon not the file / print menu. The Icon is located on the WEBi frame.

Which Viewer you are using to view the reports ( HTML or PDF)

In PDF viewer u need to click on the print button present in Acrobat toolbar.

In case of HTML you need to make sure that you have row restrictions in the report layout . If you put restriction like 200 lines per page than report will span 2-3 pages (example). If you print option then only one page will print.

Let me know if this helps

Thanks Randy. I can’t see the Print icon in the WebI frame. Is that something that is set in Supervisor?

The WebI print icon is only available when you use one of the viewers to view a full-client report via WebI.

If it is a WebI report, try clicking inside the frame and printing from your browser.

Hi Steve,

Actually this is a WebI report not a full client report.

I was able to get it to print “somewhat”. I have IE browser 6.0 which
with some more experimenting I found that if you;

  1. click the < in the top black area of WebI it will show only your document (hides the WebI frames)
    2 then click File/Print Preview
  2. in the Print Preview window if you click the lov box to the left of the Help menu item (and to the right of the % box) and select “All frames individually” it will give all the pages but the first two pages will be blank. Also, not formatted too nicely but that is I guess because of html just does not print very nice.

However, my co-worker has version 5.50 of IE browser and she does not have the option to do #3 above. So in her case she only can see the first page of the document only.

Could this be a browser issue? Going to other web pages (other than webi) where there are several pages of data this is not a problem. The document comes up in the print/preview window with all pages available.

Thanks much.
Jim
