Printing forms to printer expecting A4 page size

Former Member

Hi

We have a suite of forms (generated via sapscript and SMARTFORMS) that are formatted to US Page Size LETTER. We now need to roll out these forms to subsidiaries in Australia and UK - where page format A4 is expected.

I want to avoid having two versions of each form. Any suggestions?

In Smart form in the table that is passed with printer parameters you should be able to send the page size as a variable. In the print program you can then have an if statement which is linked to the country and send the appropriate variable. Actually even in print program for SAPscript you can pass the variable for the page size. I can't think of the table and variable names but I'm sure you can find it. Or hopefully someone else can respons with that info

Hi Jill

I checked the function module interface for SmartForms and Sapscripts and could not find a place to override the page size. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?

Assuming the page size can be overridden would the sapscript be created and formatted with LETTER with the fact that it can be printed on A4 in mind.

Thanks
