I noticed that the report's designs preview and printed are different.
I found it that all of the reports are the same.
So I tried to create new test report and notice that background colors are not rendered on print.
How too keep the design when printing?

By default Reports are rendered in HTML mode. As is often the case with HTML, the report as seen in the browser uses a different CSS style then the one sent to the browser print dialog. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is to accommodate printer technology. Printing solid dark backgrounds uses up a lot of ink and text is more legible when it's black text over a white background.
With HTML rendering, browser view and print preview differ to accommodate printer limitations:
HTML was never meant for accurate rendering anyway so I think the CSS change is for the better but if you want exact result just switch to PDF mode which is meant to provide accurate rendering. Print preview should match very closely the PDF rendering in browser when the report is displayed in PDF mode:
It can get tiring to manually switch to PDF each time by clicking the rendering mode button so you can change the default mode in the report configuration:
It is also possible to edit your custom reports or the standard ones so they default to PDF rendering in the browser instead of the current HTML default:
To edit report you will need to install Acumatica Report Designer (it is in Acumatica ERP Windows Installer) and use the EDIT REPORT button and then use Save to Server file menu item in the report designer to save the report modifications:
Have you checked the Background Graphics checkbox in the printing dialog of your printing preview program? It's primarily in the More Settings section.

I have a laptop connected to an external monitor. Need to do a presentation where I have Powerpoint open on one screen and Excel on another screen and toggle the external screen
So: the laptop screen should always show Excel but the external screen should show either PP or Excel.
I put display into extended mode, put PP on a second screen. so far so good. But then I need to switch external screen to Excel. If I change to Duplicate mode, my PP moves to the main screen and I cannot switch easily back.
Is there a way to quickly and easy switch only the external monitor between main and extended screens?
You need to be on Extended Mode always. Based on your requirement, you can manually drag the respective Application (in your case Excel/PowerPoint) to whichever screen you want.
You also can tweak the PowerPoint Slide Show setting to define which monitor to use and also whether to use Presenter View or not (refer screenshot)
Hope this helps!
I have a floating action button and when the users taps on it I want a layout to be shown, animating from the bottom exactly like the Google Drive app (so not covering the whole screen).
I read someone suggest the open source Umano's AndroidSlidingUpPanel but that is more similar to the Google Play Music app and I don't want that as I don't need the panel to be draggable/slidable.
What component should I use?
This is the Bottom sheet component. Check out its specs:

There are third libraries for the bottom sheet if you don't want to make it your self.
With Enterprise Architect (Version 9.2), I created some Class and Sequence UML Diagrams. Now I need those Diagrams in a Word document.
My first approach was to just cut them out with the Windows 7 Snipping Tool and paste them into the document. But for printing purposes the quality was way too poor.
The second approach was to "Save them as Images" as offered in Enterprise Architect. But with this, the quality was even worse.
The third way was to export them into a pdf file. With this the quality was quite decent and I could import those pdfs into Inkscape and then convert them into *.png files to import them to word. The problem is, that Enterprise Architect kinda fails with the fonts. Meaning the picture itself has high-quality, but it tries to convert the font of the classes and then I have some spaces between letters where there should be none.
So long story short - is there a way to export my UML Diagrams from Enterprise Architect to a common picture format like .png or .tiff, while retaining decent quality?
As I'm sure you're already aware, you can save a diagram as an image in several formats, including PNG but not TIFF.
The quality of the images can be controlled in the options (Tools - Options), "Diagram" tab.
The "Image Memory Limit" controls the amount of memory the image conversion process is allowed; increasing this should improve the quality of large diagrams.
"Scale Saved Bitmaps to" allows you to set a higher resolution for the images.
I haven't checked whether these also affect the copy-to-clipboard function (in the Diagram menu or CTRL+B), which is the way I usually copy diagrams into documents.
To have diagrams in word there is very easy way.
Simply, open diagram in ea then select all with CTRL+A, then copy CTRL+C, go in word and just do paste CTRL+V. Easy and perfect quality.
For some reason, when you use Ctrl-B to export a Sparx EA model to MS Word, you get a bitmap copied to the clipboard, but when you paste into Powerpoint, you get an Enhanced Metafile. This is vector graphics which can be zoomed into etc. with no loss of detail.
Prep
Before you start, go into EA and Tools->Options (or hit Ctrl-F9).
Ensure that the General properties page is selected.
Check 'Clipboard' is set to 'Metafile' (if it is set to Bitmap, you will
only ever get a bitmap produced, even in Powerpoint).
Steps
Open your EA model to be exported.
Open Powerpoint and clear the default bounding boxes leaving a blank slide.
Open Word and locate the point in your document where you want to paste the model.
Back to EA, open your model window and hit Ctrl-B (Diagram->Paste Image to Clipboard)
Go into Powerpoint and hit Ctrl-V to paste.
Resize the model to fit the slide.
Hit Ctrl A then Ctrl C to ensure everything is copied to the clipboard.
Go into Word and hit Ctrl-V to paste - you should now have an EA model in EMF metafile format, not a bitmap. Document reviewers can now zoom in and see the full detail in the model.
Do the following:
PACKAGE->Documetation->Publish as HTML
Create new folder for output and set the path in"Output" field.
-> Press Generate
Goto ..[your folder]\EARoot, the files named EA*.[png|gif] are your diagram
images in original resolution.
Myself, I used ctrl+P and used my pdf converter for printing.
- Before this, I setup the page size in the Diagram properties -> Diagram -> Page Setup -> Advanced.
- I set "Scale to one page" then i click "Page Setup", choose the appropriate page size and orientation.
- My PDF converter is PDFCreator: http://download.cnet.com/PDFCreator/3000-2064_4-10558866.html
While I see that you seem to have this resolved (happy to hear), I'll post this in case others don't have any luck with the above.
I've always just selected (ctrl+A for the whole diagram) and pasted in to Word/PPT/Outlook and the diagrams were converted automatically to nice PNG scalable images (without ever changing the memory/quality settings).
But on a recent project it seems that when I tried to do the same the quality was very poor/fuzzy and the text was sort of squashed.
Are you by chance using Remote Desktop to connect to a machine that is Running Sparx EA? There is another thread floating around somewhere (sorry don't have the link) where others were having this similar trouble when connected via RDP in Full screen display mode. I was able to export good quality from a non-RDP session, or I think if I connected via RDP but not in Full-Screen mode it owuld export in the quality I'm used to.
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar issue
Change your diagram themes, go to tools->diagram->Themes and change diagram themes to "blueprint" and go to file->Print to PDF
With Version 13 (probably older versions as well) you can press Ctrl-T to open the dialog "Save as Image". There you can choose between .png, .bmp, .jpeg, .tga, .gif, .wmf and .emf.
Copy the diagram Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C and paste it into Microsoft Paint and then save it as jpg/png file.
I have an xcode application that runs on the iPad.
It is a controller that holds a UIWebView object.
The PDF is downloaded from the internet with no problems, I just need the PDF to be displayed all the way across the screen in landscape orientation.
Currently, the PDF only uses the left most half of the screen when it is displayed. I need it to span the entire window.
Thanks for your help
Take care

In the viewDidLoad event,
I added the line....
webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
and tht forced it to full screen.... perfect.
