Unable to export data to 2nd+ PDF files #5789

markrenier commented 2 years ago

I am unable to create a PDF file from a joplin note which contains the text of that note. The first PDF file is generated correctly, but second and subsequent PDF files are missing body content. If I select a group of files to export as PDF, only the first one in that list gets generated correctly.

Environment

Platform: Windows 10 Joplin version: Joplin 2.5.12 (prod, win32) Client ID: f26539edb5dd40f8a346af9247bd6a41 Sync Version: 3 Profile Version: 39 Keychain Supported: No Revision: 884b86f

Platform: I am running JoplinPortable.exe from a 128GB USB key. The key is bitlockered.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open JoplinPortable.exe
  2. Create a new task
  3. Add some text in the body of that task
  4. RMB on the task
  5. Choose EXPORT
  6. Choose AS PDF FILE
  7. Accept the default name
  8. Click the save button
  9. Allow the PDF generation process to complete.
  10. A file is produced Observe that the filename generated replaces certain characters in the task title.
  11. Double-click the PDF file. Observe that the body text is visible.
  12. RMB on a second task
  13. Choose EXPORT
  14. Choose AS PDF FILE
  15. Accept the default name
  16. Click the SAVE button
  17. Allow the PDF generation process to complete.
  18. Observe that the file name exists as expected.
  19. Open this new PDF file. Observe that it contains no text.

Describe what you expected to happen

I expected to see a PDF file containing the text in the body of the note that I want exported.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue or not ... but here goes. I have tons of notes in Joplin and I want to export an entire section to PDF. I can export an entire section to a Markdown folder structure but this same structure cannot be exported to PDF. Even if I select the very top of my Joplin and select File > Export All > Export PDF File I only get the one active page that was exported to a PDF.

Expected behavior would be to export all of the structure from where I have highlighted and down.

Also, there is no Export to PDF when you click on a section and then right click and select Export. You can right click and select export to Markdown or HTML and it will export the entire section that you want, but not the same for PDF.

Expected behavior would be to print the structure to a PDF file.

Yes that issue sounds similar.
