Hi Omri,

This would be a browser issue. Every browser has their own settings and configurations on how printing works. Unfortunately, QuickBase does not have control on what the printing should look like.

Why can't I get headers to repeat on page when printing to PDF?

We are having  similar issue. Because of the quantity of assets we manage, we have multiple page reports. The headers do not appear, no matter the platform, browser, PDF, program we use.  We have no headers after the first page. Please help make reports friendlier!!!

Rod,

Repeating table headers on page breaks used to work in IE.  I don't have access to IE on this computer right now.  Are you sure you tested IE?

I stand corrected it does work in IE, however our company only works in Chrome. Seems that quickbase has alot of issues with chrome. 

Typically Chrome seems to be the fastest Browser and those if us who spend our lives in Quick Base all day use it for it's speed, especially for a developer.

But for printing and freeze titles on some screens like Grid Edit, IE seems to work better.

But the Browsers keep changing all the time and Quick Base keeps changing, so you need to actually have multiple browsers available to you, not just Chrome, to get the best of all worlds with Quick Base.

For example, Chrome may have a new release that is incompatible with a Quick Base feature.  While the QuickBase engineers are working on a fix, you need to have at least 1 other browser available to you to get around the obstacle and keep working.

I don't have a printer available to me but I quickly tried the technique in this article:

Try printing this document from Chrome (and maybe some other browsers) and tell me if the header ("header stuff") repeats on each page:
