Hello all,

Just a quick little question regarding the paper size for a crystal report template.  I have created a template that is letter sized but I also want it to scale down for A4.  In my VB code I have

crOrderPrintout.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperLetter

or

crOrderPrintout.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA4

based on the country selected. 

Now my A4 report gets chopped off.  I can certainly take my current template, save it as someting else, change the paper size and based on country use that template but I'm wondering if there's something I can do in my code to make the letter report fit on the A4 paper.  If I save it to a PDF, open up in Adobe and print from there, it gives me the option of page scaling but the user won't be opening up the report, it will get sent to the printer automatically.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I don't know how to make CR scale to paper size. The only thing I can think of is to go into the object model and change the x coordinates of the report objects that get cut off.

I did some more playing around and I found something that seemed to work.  In the designer if I check out the Page Settings, I clicked the "Adjust Automatically".  And voila!  It works. :)
