proposal export error landscape pricing table cut off in generated PDF

TL;DR

Fix this in the proposal PDF export by acting on the exact message first: in the export settings set the pricing table section to landscape with fit to page width scaling, keep the rest of the document portrait, and re-export the PDF. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in the proposal PDF export fails with this exact message: proposal export error landscape pricing table cut off in generated PDF.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A proposal, quote or send is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the proposal PDF export, and copy the full message plus the proposal, quote or account involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: in the export settings set the pricing table section to landscape with fit to page width scaling, keep the rest of the document portrait, and re-export the PDF. Verify: every column of the pricing table is visible in the re-exported PDF with no cut off at the page edge.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, pricebook or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result against the source system in the proposal PDF export so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in the proposal PDF export on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

the wide pricing table was rendered at full width into a portrait page, so the export clipped the columns beyond the page edge.

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in the proposal PDF export. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Troubleshooting this failure in the proposal PDF export

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: the proposal PDF export at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.
