Control margins in printing web

[Leandro]

When I open the report Simple List in winform are 3 pages printed correctly.
When viewing the report on the web has 3 pages, but when print generates 6 pages. Below the print screen.

Designer


Report in Web


Configuration IE8


Printer spool



What should I do to print the number of pages equal to the display?

Hi,

The result you received was a 6 pages instead of 3 because when a report was printed from the browser it is always HTML representation of the report which is obviously can not be WYSIWYG. To avoid this use better printing using Adobe Acrobat and there is an option for such printing.

But you could still receive the result you were after. Just open the Page properties in IE and set header and footer as blank and reduce page margins to zero.

Unfortunately there is no rule about margins - you always need to set them a bit bigger in the report template if you going to print using HTML representation of the report from the browser.

Thank you.

Hi Edward,

Is there a setting that instead of opening the preview normal html open the pdf file directly in the browser?

Hello,

You can use "Print to Pdf" option from Print menu.

Thank you.

Hello Jan,

I would like to render the report directly to PDF, without opening the page with the visualization.
How to implement it?

Hi

Yes, that is possible. Please use the following code:

Code: Select all

Stimulsoft.Report.Web.StiReportResponse.ResponseAsPdf(this, report, false)

Thank you.
