Render report to A3 paper size

Post by lcruiser »

Hi,

Is StimulReport capable to render to A3 paper?

I setup a fictitious print "HP LaserJet 5000 Series PCL" on my PC, the report designer recognises A3 paper however the preview seems to show a very large page (much much larger than 2 A4 pages).

I just need to know to advise my potential clients of any existing limitation.


Thanks.

Please check properties PageWidth and PageHeight of page. PageWidth must be equal to 29.7 cm. PageHeight must be equal to 42 cm.
Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips. I manage to get the repport to render to A3 in preview however it render through the right and bottom margins. Doesn't matter what I set the right and bottom margins to they don't seem to have any effect.

Here is how I tested it:

1. Start the demo.exe and select Simple List
2. Select Design and change the paper size to A3 in the designer
3. Click preview then click Page Size, select A3, uncheck Scale Content and click OK

At this the report will be rendered in A3 size with no right and bottom margins.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think I found the cause of the problem. In the designer properties by default the

Paper Size = Custom
Page Width = 29.7
Page Height = 21

If I only change Page Width = 42 and page Height = 29.7, the report rendered in A3 perfectly.

If I change Paper Size = A3 (from the drop down list) then I get the problem. Another problem is that I can't change it back to Custom, also the Page Width and Page Height disappear.

I think Page Width and Page Height should remain and populated with the appropriate dimension when the Paper Size is changed.

Thanks.

We have updated our code.
