Dynamically determine the paper type

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have made a adobe form on letter format and its working fine.However when tried to trigger output for A4 size paper its not working.
Can some one please help me with this,its not that I can change the paper size in my form from letter size to A4.
I want the adobeform to be in letter format but I should be able to take the printout in A4 also along with letter format.

Regards

Hello Keerthi

It is a 2 years old posting but I am facing the same problem today.

Have you found a solution?

When printing from Adobe reader, we can select to print with the option shrink oversize pages.

That will allow to printer letter format in A4 format. But I don't know if that option exist when printing from SAP.

First of all, A4 and letter are two different paper sizes.  The European A4 is narrower and longer than Letter which is built on 8.5 X 11 inches.  If you're in North America, you probably don't have a sheet of A4 in the shop.  Seriously, one needs to write a little code that says if I want A4, I call this SmartForm designed for A4.  If I want Letter, I call another SmartForm designed for Letter.  Don't rely on print preview when you have this problem.... the preview will be good and the output may be trash if you have designed for A4, and you printer is loaded with Letter, or vice versa.
