Hi,

cheers
J

thank for your reply. I shoudl have mentioned that I am using Crystal Reports version 10.
Is there an option to just choose 'landscape' rather than manually specifying the width and height of the page?
cheers

Unable to Change Main Report Page Orientation in Crystal 10

Hi,
My report has 8 sub reports and every sub report is placed in a report footer section. When I change the page orientation from portrait to landscape, no change in main report. but It does change the sub report paper orientation.
Is it because of the sub reports?
Any Ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Jyothi

Thanks for the reply.
But I was changing whole report to landscape. When I select Default margins, Main report changed to Landscape, earlier adjust aumomatically option was selected in Page setup dialog.That solved my problem.

Is is possible to combine multiple page orientations in a single document (Pages '09 v4.1)?

I'm trying to write a document with differing page orientations (landscape, portrait) for individual pages. This has *LONG* been a feature in Word but I can't figure out how to do it in Pages '09. What am I missing?

I did search and did find that answer in the forums. However, using another application to manipulate the final product is not the solution in the native app that I am seeking. I want to be able to have the editable document open and see the layout on the differing pages while writing. I suppose you are correct and this is a personal opinion/desire for this feature. However, I do not think it is too much to expect if Apple wants people to be convinced to use their iWork suite instead of MS Office.

Landscape and portrait page orientation in forms.

Could anyone let me know how to have both portrait and landscape page orientations in a form.
Building an audit report and need (would be nice) to have both in one single form.

Hi,
You just need to set up two Master Pages and then set the pagination for the design pages, as to which Master Page they relate to. There is an example here: http://assure.ly/ewrLMo. (have a look how the form uses both Master Pages).

Different page orientation in same report!

As in Microsoft Word I am trying to customize a mail merge totally in Crystal Reports using Access as the data engine. Can Crystal have a cover letter, with merge fields, from Access as portrait orientation (page 1) and then all subsequent pages in landscape orientation (recipients data pages). In summary I need Crystal to be able to have page 1 as portrait and all other pages as landscape within the same report. This answer is dependent on whether I purchase Crystal Reports.
Thank You

Hello,
This functionality is new with CR2008. You can visit the [Crystal Reports 2008 Features|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/crystalreports/featuresfunctions/index.epx] page for more information.

Dynamic Page Orientation in Reports 6i

I have the following requirement. I need to print a letter that contains an attachment. The letter is two pages long and the page size letter and orientation is portrait. The attachment is legal but the orientation is landscape. So what it essentially means is that I need to change the orientation between pages. The letter is a separate repeating frame that the attachment, they are at the same level. I have set the main layout section to H=11 and W=8.5. When I layout the attachment in the layout editor and run the report I get error that the body is outside the frame etc... Meaning the size of the attachment is outside the page. I can define a different page size in the Trailer Section and it works fine if I am only printing one letter, If I enter parameters to print multiple letters, ie. from Customer A to C I get Letter A followed by letter B then Letter C then the three attachments. Problem is the letters go to a folding machine and need to be in order. I know I can do it by using text fields that contain the field name prefaced with and ampersand and then rotate the text field accordingly but this seems very cumbersome. Does anyone know of a better way to essentially create a single report that has different page orientations from page to page. Thanks in advance for any insights. Phil

hello,
in 6i we only support one page size per report. in 9i/10g we allow for different pagesize settings for the three sections of a report.
thanks,

Setting the page orientation for a report

Hi
Currently, in infoview I have observed that we can set the page orientation for a report in a webi document , i.e. whether the report is to be viewed in landscape mode or portrait mode.
Currently, in the BO SDK, I have come across the classes like Orientation, but am not able to figure out how to use them.
Can you please paste some code snippet, how to use this class for setting the orientation of the document.
Thanks in advance,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
To retrieve the Reportcontainer for an existing report on a WebI document, you can do the following:
ReportStructure oReportStructure = oDocumentInstance.getStructure();
ReportContainer oReportContainer = (ReportContainer) oReportStructure.getReportElement(0);
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dan

Has anyone successfully used multiple page orientations in a CR2008 report?

Hi -- I posted about this a couple of days ago:
Unwanted blank pages using multiple page orientations in CR 2008
I have a report with multiple subreports, each 1 page long, and some of which need to use landscape
orientation (most are portrait). Thanks to the forum, I learned that this is possible in CR2008.
Each subreport is in a report footer section. So, for the subreports that need to be landscape,
I use the section expert for that footer, Paging tab, and set it to landscape. I DO NOT
check New Page Before and New Page After -- but I get them anyway. There's a blank page
before the landscape page -- portrait orientation. There's a blank page after the landscape
page -- landscape orientation. In addition to being ugly, the blank pages mess up the page numbers that
need to be associated w/ each subreport.
I've checked the Report Footers before and after the footer for the landscape subreport.. neither of them have
New Page Before or New Page After checked.
I'm hoping to generate more interest/discussion w/ this post, and I also have some additional
information.
1) The "blank" pages that appear before and after the landscape page seem to be duplicates of the previous section.
That is, subreport 3 is in page footer c (portrait). Its results correctly appear on page 3, but page 4, which appears
blank, is also page footer c and shows the subreport object included -- but with no data.
The subreport in page footer section d (landscape) appears on page 5 (it should be on 4). Page 6 appears blank,
but it is also page footer section d and shows the subreport object included.
If I change page footer c to landscape, all the "blank" pages go away (though subreport c takes up 2 pages because
it's too long for a landscape page). So, from that perspective, having successive pages w/ the non-default
orientation seemed to help...
Is there some trick to using multiple page orientations in a report that I'm not aware of? Can someone describe
an example where they were successful?
Maybe tech support will be the way to go, but I'd like to think that someone out there has worked w/ this feature!
Thanks much,
Carol

How can I change a print page orientation from portrait to landscape

How can I change the page orientation when printing from portrait to landscape?

By setting the print size -- ie rather than 6x4 use 4x6 - and to avoid unwanted cropping you need to crop the photo to the target ratio before printing ( you can undo the crop after printing if you do not want it to be permanent)

Can't print a graph on the whole page in landscape

Hello!
I have XY graph that I want to print on the whole page in landscape orientation (paper A4).
On the screen the graph is small, so I do resizing, appending image to report, and then printing.
After sending it to the printer I get preview (from the printer software) and see that the graph uses only approx. 5/6 of the page in the width, in other words the height of the graph takes the whole height of the page (21 cm) and the width of the graph leaves 5 cm of the page unused.
I tried to change the width and the height of the plot area to get proper ratio, but in vain.
If I set the height of the graph too large it goes beyond the page, but whatever I write to the width I always get 5 cm of the page unused on the right side. (not including 1 cm of the margin).
Note: surely, if you set small width you can get more space of the page unused, I'm talking about increasing the width of the graph.
Any ideas?
See attached for the vi. I tried to save it for 7.1 version but it can't, so you'll need LabView 8.0 to check it.
Also in attached you can find the page preview I get before it goes to printer.
Thanks in advance.

Rashid,
It could be that you would need to install the entire LabVIEW 8.0.1 update rather than just the updated Run-Time Engine (RTE). Here is a link to the 8.0.1 update. If you download and install this version, you can then use the utility to mass compile or compile when you are prompted.

Oracle report-how to change report layout to landscape?

Hi,
I am using Oracle report 6i. I want to change the report layout to Landscape. I had tried to go to 'page setup' and changed to 'landscape', but when I print, I still got portait layout.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Jun

Hi,
Easiest method for changing your reports orientation to Landscape is
Go to object navigator->System parameters->Orientation.
Set value of this system parameter as Landscape. Thats all. You also can set this property using srw. features at runtime.

CR2008 forces change in page orientation

Using CR2008 on XP, I have built a report on a page set to 6in wide by 4in tall.
In the page setup, the orientation is forced to Landscape as opposed to Portrait. If I was printing on a laser printer, that wouldn't be an issue, but I am printing to a Tally T6218 printer which is for continuous forms (tractor fed). I try to change the 6x4 landscape to 6x4 portrait but CR forces it to landscape automatically.
I tried exporting the report to PDF, but it is stuck in landscape.
I have read blogs where others encountered this problem but I have not seen if there was a fix for this.

Hi Brad
Printing issues usually depend on the printer drivers; so would suggest you to update the driver to the latest version; For more information related to the Printer.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_usergde_en.pdf.
It is also observer when the width(Horizontal) is greater than height(Vertical)
then it takes the page orientation as Landscape automatically however with Crystal Report Base version it gives the desired output however in Crystal report 20087 and Crystal Report XI R2 it is found as a bug.
Hope this informationis helful to you.

Asha.

Report page format

Hi all,
I am new to Oracle reports...I have created a report using Oracle reports. There are many columns in that report and I want to set the page format to landscape Permanently for that report. Could you pls guide me how to do that
Thanks

Hi Jagjit,
You can set the orientation at the section level on the report. Go to the Object Navigator > Paper Layout > Header or Main or Trailer Section > Property Inspector > Orientation > Landscape.
Also see Report Builder Help on "Orientation Property", and "Changing Orientation".

Crystal Reporter sets Orientation

Hi Experts,
My client has an issue is with a Crystal Report. The issue is this:
Client wants to print labels using an A4 sheet of Labels. He has created the report layout. Let us say that the report box is 7cm wide x 4 cm tall.
When setting the report size, Crystal automatically sets the page orientation to landscape, purely because the report box is wider than it is tall. This is not wanted!
The labels need to be printed on portrait orientated paper. The label size is easily narrow enough to print on portrait orientated paper but Crystal automatically decides that the orientation should be landscape.
Is there any way around this? We have found that amending the printer properties (setting it to portrait) is a workaround but this would need to be done for every print which is time consuming.
Greig

Hi Greig,
You may find more thread to complain the same problem. CR is too smart in this orientation matter. It won't allow portrait if the width is more than height. The workaround is: add a non visible text box to make the frame like normal, i.e. Height > Width.
Thanks,
Gordon
