Question
PDF reports not displaying correctly - Windows users
 
Answer

FOR WINDOWS USERS

Today many web browsers use a non-Adobe PDF viewer. These PDF viewers do not have the full functionality of Adobe Acrobat Reader. As a result, they can make errors when opening PDF files and you will not be notified. Currently, our DORA reports have graphs and check marks that require the real Adobe Acrobat Reader. Follow the links below if your browser is trying to use something other than Adobe Acrobat to open your PDF files.

If you do not have the last Acrobat Reader, please update via the link below.

If you are using Firefox:


These instructions will allow you to view PDF files in Firefox using Adobe Acrobat instead of the PDF viewer built into Firefox. The PDF viewer built into Firefox has limited capabilities and will incorrectly view many Let's Go Learn PDF files generated for student reports.

3. Scroll down to "Files and Applications" .
4. Under Applications , locate Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select It.
5. Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column and select “Use Adobe Reader.
6. Close the window.


If you are using Chrome:

These instructions will allow you to view PDF files in Chrome using Adobe Acrobat instead of the PDF viewer built into Chrome. The PDF viewer built into Chrome has limited capabilities and will incorrectly view many Let's Go Learn PDF files generated for student reports.

2. In your web address bar, type  chome:settings.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
