Reports Have Margins Cutoff - Edge Printing Issue
Table of Contents
Problem
Since a Microsoft update in Q2 of 2023, some users have been experience issues printing in TRX. The PDF comes up fine, but when they send it to the printer, it is printing with the Margins Cutoff. This is an issue with how Microsoft Edge handles PDF files.
Solutions
There are 3 solutions to this issue.
Turn IE mode on after the report generates
Use the Basilisk Browser instead of Microsoft Edge
Open the PDF outside of the browser before printing
Turn On IE Mode in Edge
Microsoft Edge is now loading the PDFs in their regular mode, which doesn’t print PDF’s properly. You will need to switch IE mode back on for it to print correctly.
Step-by-Step
Run Report so it opens in new tab
Click on the “Reload tab in Internet Explorer mode” button
It will be in the toolbar if you set it up
Go under the “…” to find if not in toolbar
Print report
Use Basilisk Browser Instead of Edge
Another way to avoid the issue is to switch to using the Basilisk Browser, which runs Java natively and doesn’t have this printing issue.
