Hi,

This is a know issue.
First attempts to fix it failed...
It' due to library used to export to pdf, html2pdf, which doe not tacke into account tables larger than page.
If anyone has an idea for a fixing ...

Workarounds :
1) change the scale so that you will see a larger period
2) export first preriod, then change start date and export second period, and so on.

FPDF is just a library to code PDF files.
The advantage of html2pdf is that it automatically converts html pages to pdf files.
This has been used to automatically convert all printable reports (in html) to exportable reports (in pdf) witthout much work.
Now the question is : should it be insteresting to redevelop the PDF export of gantt ?
Maybe, as it will set possible to export full planning, and possibly improve generation performance (tranformation performance from complex html to pdf is very poor).
But this is a very heavy job...
