Print Report to A3 paper size

[canoebi99]

Hi All,

I am trying to set a report to print to A3 paper but don't seem to be able to do this?

I have set the preferred paper size on the report to A3 but when I run the report and print it seems to go to whatever the default paper size of the printer driver is (i.e. A4).

Even if I go into the printing preferences and change it to A3 it still ignores it and prints to A4 size?

Can anyone explain how this is supposed to work? Or give me a solution to be able to print a report to A3 when the default paper size of the default printer is A4?

I am printing via the ajax client of the QV server.

Many Thanks

Ben

It looks like the PDF is printed using Prin-Xchange software. Here is how i got it to work

Log into your qlikview server using Qlikview admin user name

Go to list of printers .

There you will find PDF-Xchange printer  which will be most also a the default printer.

Then go to printing preferences and change the default paper size to A3.

This is an annoying one, but I managed to resolve it through playing around with the Page Settings.  Admittedly, the setting that I ended up changing don't obviously relate to the final paper size, but it seems to have done the trick.

Originally, I had it set to the 'Scale to' option.  Even though all  other reference were set to A3, this one seems to have been forcing it to print onto A4.  Once I selected the option 'Fit to Pages', it printed to A3 without any issues.

I should note this will not force the print to be on 99 pages as was my orginal concern.
