Portrait/Landscape View/Print

[Gautam K Banik]

Hi all,

I have a document that has 2 parts...
1 - Covering letter in Portrait
2 - Annexure in Landscape
I have created the first part as the Main Report and the 2nd part as a
sub-report
Question: How do I manage the report in the viewer for the portrait part and
the landscape part to be displayed and printed together?

All sorts of solutions welcome. Even if it takes some extra User
effort/Developer effort.

Gautam.

Turning the layout of a report is not possible as far as I know.
You can try to turn the template. It is possible to change the
characterorientation to vertical. And rotate the image etc.

I got around the problem by using code on a form to first print report one
(letter) then print the second report.

Hi dg,

Unfortunately I have one more problem. The user also exports it to a PDF
file. So it would be better to somehow keep things together and have a
single export.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

This is just an idea and something i have never tried!!

When i create a pdf document i first print to a postscript printer then use
the primer to create the pdf.

The postscript file is simply a text file. If you had two text files, could
you concatenate them into one file and then run it through the primer??

As i said this is something i have not tried and posted straight up
(apologys to all for posting untested solutions)
