Print size hell

Hi Stimulsoft team
When I go to your demo page...
http://devreports.stimulsoft.com/Defaul ... SimpleList
I print the simple report with "Print without Preview" it prints at 100%.

When I use the StiWebviewer with our project and print one of our reports with "Print without Preview".
Our reports print at 75%. We have set everything we can set to 100%
Its driving us nuts :brick:
Please help

Two weeks ago we'd made some fixes about zoom of the report in the StiWebViewer. Please try to get the latest prerelease build if the issue is connected with the zooming the StiWebViewer.

But printing the way you did is not connected with the zoom of StiWebViewer settings (ZoomPercent) nor the zoom which can be changed in run-time.

The scale of printing not depends on setting of the zoom in the StiwebViewer. May be here is the issue with the browser settings or some printer's settings?

In which version of .Net are you work in? And also which version of Stimulsoft Reports.Net is used with your application?

Thank you.

Hi Edward
We think its a stiWebviewer bug.

If you go to your webPage
http://devreports.stimulsoft.com/Defaul ... SimpleList
And try and "Print without Preview" in Internet Explorer 7.0, it shrinks the report to 75%.
In Firefox it prints at 100%.

Regards
Philip

Hi Stimulsoft Team
Can you please acknowledge this issue with Internet Explorer and print size.
We bought a license of StimulsoftReports so we are not just demoing the software.
We are developing web based software and are using IE for it.
We need this issue resolved or acknowledged please.

Regards
Philip

Yes, you are right. The printing from IE7 always done in 75%. In firefox everything is ok.

We'll inform you about our progress.

Thank you.

Please go in Page Setup in the Internet Explorer7, change it to minimal possible values and also please check that 'A4' paper size is selected as default option of the page properties.

Internet Explorer 7 adjusts automatically printing content to available space for printing on the page and result of printing depends on page settings.

We can't control these settings from StiWebViewer.

Thank you.

Hi

There is no issue with printing from Fiirefox and from IE, if you reduce margins of top and bottom. By default these margins are not set to none and also require space when the browser content is being printed.

Please note that page which rendered in HTML can not be of WYSIWYG.

If you need to print the report page exactly as it appears in the report preview in Windows Forms, please use pdf format for rendering of the report in the browser.

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

If you still have any problems with printing /rendering, please describe them in detail.

Thank you.
