Hi All
I have a problem with the logo being scaled up on the Annual expense breakdown report and Annual balance breakdown report. Can you please tell me which file i can modify to reduce the size. All other PDF reports print fine
Thanks in advance
Dave Keene
This is a custom report, written by Tom Hallman, USA.
I will try to see where you should change.
/Joe
It looks like it is in the file /reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc in member function Header3, line 444.
Look at the height and width of the logo and try to adjust.
/Joe
Joe:
Seems I'm having the same problem. I adjusted the LOGO_HEIGHT variable (there isn't a LOGO_WIDTH variable), but that didn't change anything.
Did you mean change the actual size of the logo????

Chris
I am not sure, please try to experiment. I am out of office right now.
Joe
No problem, Joe. Since this is an extension, I don't really expect you to spend a lot of time debugging it. I just wanted to let you know that the "quick fix" you suggested didn't work. When you get back to the office, if you have any contact info for Tom that will be helpful as I'll contact him and see if he can help.
Thanks!

I just sent Tom an e-mail. Hopefully he'll be able to help.
Thanks!

Thanks Chris
I also sent Tom an email yesterday so hope he same.......
Hi all. I saw Chris's email and figured I'd stop in to say hello! Honestly I haven't done FA development in a while now... could you point me to where I could find the code for that extension? I tried looking all over the website but couldn't find it. If I could take a look at it I may be able to figure it out.
Tom
I am afraid that the header part of this extension has been incorporated into FrontAccounting Core. I will put the file pdf_report.inc for download. It is about line 444 in the file function Header3().
I guess that this about the logo is a bit longer down in the function Header3().
If you find and can explain where to change the AddImage parameters, then please Tom otherwise I will have to help the guys.
/Joe
Ahhh now I understand. Full disclosure: I actually didn't write that code - a coworker of mine was the mastermind behind the reporting code changes (over 3 years ago!) Our copy of FA is still pretty old though, so we don't have a good development environment set up right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this one... sorry 
In other news, we're still regularly using FA and even incorporated some auto-importing code recently so that there's seamless integration between some of our systems. We do intend to get caught up with the latest version of FA, but I can't give a time estimate at the moment.
Hello Tom, nice to hear from you. Not a problem, I will see if I can help the guys.
@David Keen and @chrison.
I will test this in the weekend. As soon as I have something, I will be back here.
/Joe
@Tom:
Ahhh! I didn't realize that it's been that long since you worked with the code Sorry to bother you with it, then.
@Joe:
No problem, Joe. It's not a major issue (at least with me), so whenever you have time to take a look that will be fine.

Chris
Hello again.
You can experiment with this line 454 in /reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc.
define('COMPANY_WIDTH', 150);Setting a greater value than 150 will increase the logo. A smaller value will decrease the logo.
Happy testing! 
/Joe
Hi, Joe!
Setting COMPANY_WIDTH to anything greater than "40" makes my logo large enough to get in the way of the report header, so leaving it at that value has fixed the problem.
One thing I noticed, though... I think the problem isn't so much that the logo is too big (although that's a factor) but that it's printing too low on the report. I've noticed on other reports that the logo prints at the very top of the page, but for this report it's printing more down by the header.
I really wish I knew more about PHP so I could fiddle with this stuff myself! (SIGH!) But, maybe if somehow the logo could be moved up just a bit that would help?
No big deal! Don't waste time on it if there's other more important things to work on. Just thought I'd mention it.
Thanks, again, for all your help!
Regards,
Chris
You can experiment with the y-axes on line 531 in /reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc.
$this->AddImage($logo, $companyCol, $this->row, COMPANY_WIDTH, 0);You can try setting the third parameter, $this->row to be $this->row - 10 to get the y-axes down 10 pixels, + 10 to get it up 10 pixels.
/Joe
Setting "$this->row + 15" helps.
Thanks!
Regards,
Chris
I think we can change that in the core. Will do that asap.
Joe
I'm just wondering if those changes will adversely effect other reports? I haven't tried other reports (yet) to see if the logo is changed for them, but will do so in the next few days.
Just wondering...
Regards,
Chris
No, I guess there are no custom reports using header3 at the moment. So we can easily change this.
This has already been done. HG Repository updated.
/Joe
Okay, thanks!
Chris
