[RESOLVED] Adjusting Paper Size of Data Report

[popodc]

help please i need to manually adjust the paper size of a data report. i need to enlarge the paper size so that i can enlarge the report size also. thanks

[BestS]

Why don't you set the report width to maximum then only enlarge the CONTROL's width? Or you want to change the size from A5 to A3 for instance?

Dear BestS

i dont know the paper size but i need to enlarge it so that i can adjust my width also. paper width is diff from report width.. the only thing that i know how to adjust is the report. i need to know on how to enlarge or adjust the paper size manually.. THanks

[BestS]

Make the maximum as I said.
A3 for instance
You can then again print on A4, no problem and on A5
but won't get errors.
Make the report A3 size then change only the size of your controls

Dear BestS! Please tell me one little thing. Can we have the solution in Crystal Reports?
I mean paper width solution

I think this might be a little closer to what you want:


Answer
printer.papersize= value

'sets the paper sizeof the printer
Options available are:
value
1 = Letter, 8 1/2 x 11 in.
2= 8 1/2 x 11 in.
3= 11 x 17 in.
4= 17 x 11 in.
5= 8 1/2 x 14 in
6= 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 in.
7= 7 1/2 x 10 1/2 in.
8= 297 x 420 mm
9= 210 x 297 mm
12= 250 x 354 mm
13= 182 x 257 mm
14= 8 1/2 x 13 in.
15= 215 x 275 mm
16 ==10 x 14 in.
17= 11 x 17 in.
18= 8 1/2 x 11 in.

'choose your pick

I have a solution if this can help...

if u cant display the report properly on the browser, go to ur vb codes (file where it loads the crystal report), and set these:

oRpt.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperB4 (or bigger)

oRpt.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperOrientation.Landscape (or portrait if appropriate)
