Created attachment 158741 [details] Example Income report showing grayed out sections SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use the Kmymoney "Print" button to print a report (e.g., Income Statement or Transaction Report) to PDF 2. Open the report and look at it. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Report lines appear "grayed out" whether you print to PDF color or grayscale. This is a change in behavior. I've tried this on two separate computers (one a Manjaro system and the other one is a Garuda system). See attached example. EXPECTED RESULT A clear, readable report as in prior versions. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Example output attached
First, please state which OS or Distribution you are using. When you print to PDF from other applications, is the result OK, or do you see a similar problem? I cannot replicate this issue - when I print a report to PDF, it looks like I would expect. What the example looks like is that it is using extremely light colored fonts, which are almost unreadable due to lack of contrast. However, looking into the pdf file, it appears that it is all an image, there is no actual text present. Note that opening the file in Okular, you cannot select any text - because there is not. This makes me wonder if there is something odd about your installed printing software. Can you try printing from another KDE application? It it has the same problem, we know it is not specific to KMyMoney, but something deeper in the system.

I did mention my OS(s) in my original report, but perhaps I put it in the wrong section (I put it in the OBSERVED RESULT section). I tried it on two different machines: one is a desktop running Manjaro linux and the other is a laptop running Garuda linux. These are both Arch derivatives. I tried using the same "print to PDF" option in the KDE application Kate and had no similar problems. From Kate, the PDF file was clear (including fonts of various colors). You mention that you think the fonts in the Kmymoney report are light colored and thus unreadable. I think it may have something to do with the colored backgrounds in the section where the fonts are unreadable. You will note in the file I attached that the fonts are very clear in the sections of the report where there is no colored background.

I also tried Kmymoney 5.1.3 on a Windows 11 virtual machine (from my Manjaro system) and it produced the PDF reports without any problem. So perhaps this is specific to how Kmymoney was compiled for the Manjaro and Garuda community repositories.
Please do not contain the original text when responding via e-mail. Simply start with a blank mail because otherwise it screws up the web display which we devs use. See for yourself e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469420#c3 Thanks in advance. To me this sounds like a CSS problem. The reports are rendered using HTML and should use different instructions when printing to the display and the printer. Since that is not working properly, it could well be a packaging problem. Can you try to use an AppImage version of KMyMoney and see if that has the same problem? You can find instructions at https://kmymoney.org/appimage.html and the download at https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/AppImage/job/KMyMoney_Release_appimage-centos7/ (don't worry about the centos7 part, it's just a name). The AppImage can be installed alongside your distro version without problems.
