Left Edge of Report is Cut Off When Printed

Problem

When printing a Colleague report, some of the text on the the left side of the report is cut off.  This can happen when printing to a printer or to document imaging.

Resolution

PDF report files produced from Colleague often do not have enough margin space to allow them to be printed without cutting off content on the top and left edges.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Produce the PDF report in Colleague as you normally would.

  2. Click the Download button to open the PDF.
