Title
Printing oversized reports
Post
I have a report that is 200 x 400mm and I would like it to shrink to fit A4 sized paper.
I tried to use the printer controls to shrink the page, but it will only print the A4 size and cut the rest of the data.
I also tried to save it to a PDF file, but it only saves to the A4 size and also cuts the rest of the data.
Filemaker does not seem to allow different prints sizes for different layouts.
Is the solution to copy the layout and shrink it all down so it fits on the A4 size and then create a script to print that layout?
Thanks

Thank you for your post.
When you go to Print Setup (Windows) or Page Setup (Macintosh), you have the ability to scale the sizing. The default is 100%, so it fyou scale it to 50%, it will print half the size. Since A4 paper is around 290 mm in length, you may want to try 72% or 73% and see if this works for you. Go to Preview Mode to see the results before printing.
