Topic on Talk:Reading/Web/PDF Functionality/Flow

I'm trying to export a sheet listing the state protected monuments found in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. When I try to use the export PDF functionality, there are many entries missing.

Hm, could you please provide a link to the page you're having a problem with?

Sure. Here is the link to the page I tried to export to PDF.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Monuments_of_National_Importance_in_Chennai_circle

I tried to see what was going on and I think I figured out the issue. My exported PDF is 13 pages long with the last page break in the table at "N-TN-C382"

I exported the table from the wiki page into a spreadsheet. There's a total of 144 entries. Exporting a PDF and doing the same gave me a different number of rows. What it looks like, to me, is that the page breaks are sometimes breaking up a row and splitting it into two pages.

I'm not exactly able to replicate the error you describe. Can you tell me more about what you see?

In my experience (yours may vary due to differences in the software being use) I've been able to select the contents of a wiki table and copy/past them into a blank spreadsheet. It's not a straightforward export feature, and may require some clean-up, but it might be a viable solution for this need.

Hi - thanks for your report. We don't currently have a way to export a page into .xlm format. I also tested the article - were the issues you were seeing due to missing entries or entries having strange/inconsistent page breaks? When trying on chrome 62.0 I wasn't able to replicate any of the issues. Another option would be to try to use the browser printing functionality and then safe the file as a PDF although I am not sure how you would convert it to an .xlm afterwards.

Inconsistent page breaks. That's a shame, would've saved a lot of trouble. I'll try your suggestion.

Thanks anyways.
