table size for print.

[xren]

Hi,

I have a table on a form. When I print the form. the table size doesn't fit the pdf page.

What is the reason?

I compared this table with another table on another form, which works fine. I did't see any difference that cause this problem.

Thanks,
Xiaoli

Are you using the report option to make all input fields display only? e.g.

Code: Select all

var options = new PdfOptions();
options.reportMode = true;
form.generatePdf(options);

If not, the table will expand to accommodate the length (Display length property) of all the input fields in a table row.

The following is the PdfOptions.

Still the same - table expends out of page

var opts = new PdfOptions();
opts.display = false;
opts.save = true;
opts.reportMode = true;
opts.pages = [pages.PRINT_PAGE];
opts.filePath = webappPath+ "temp/"+ pdfName;


form.generatePdf(opts);

Two more things to check:

1. Margins will cause a problem if applied to the Table Control. If you want a margin on the entire PDF, it's better to set it using the PDF style property on the root Page Control and remove it from the Table Control.

2. Other than that, there are obviously limits on what will fit physically within a page. Each column will only shrink to the width of the widest word in a column header or column cell. Beyond that, it will overflow to the right.

If this doesn't help, can you export the form and send it to support@ebasetech.com.

Hi Jon,

I have sent the exported form to the support email box yesterday.

Please take a look.
