Printing and theme issue

[ShaneAU]

@shadzta

When i try to print an invoice, program crashes, no scaling selected, just default settings.

Can you please post a screenshot of any error messages that appear? I’m using macOS Sierra (not High Sierra) and haven’t noticed any issues - but the error will help to diagnose the problem.

It would be worthwhile checking the following as well:

• Are you using any custom themes?
• Do you have any unusual characters in the client details / invoice description / etc?

the name of who im making my invoice out to does not fit in standard DL sized windowed envelopes

I noticed this issue as well A custom theme can be used to adjust this to fit, which solved the problem for me.

@shadzta

default theme has been removed. Yes Ive created another them with correct sizing but i can set that to apply to all invoices.

Unfortunately not. See my post here, requesting exactly that:

@ShaneAU

Allow a custom theme to be the default

@shadzta

I create approximately 400 invoices every 3 months and update them as part payments come in and print updated invoices accordingly. As you can imagine to have to manually change the theme on each invoice and then pdf it and then print it from an external program for 400 invoices adds hours of processing time.

I can understand that. Part of why many users are advocating for the ability to set a custom theme as the default. It may be a possibility in the future, we’ll have to wait and see.

However, as a side note, if you aren’t already importing transactions for your bank account using a bank statement, you should consider this – in combination with bank rules, and the fact that you’re dealing with part payments for 400+ invoices each quarter, it could save you hours of logging payments manually.

switch to a pre theme version of manager (this would be ideal for me as older pre them versions did absolutely everything I required so if you can pm me a download link to a prior version 15 or 16 that would be awesome!)

Keep in mind that you should never open a business with an older version of Manager. Once it has been opened with a newer version, it is converted one-way to only work with that version and above. This is a side effect of automatically converting businesses to work with new features as they become available.

If you decide to revert to a previous version, make sure that you use a backup that was created for that version, rather than your current business file. This will prevent accidental data loss.
