Can we have a Fit to Page or print area option on Infopath please?

[Adam Harding]

It would be VERY useful for Infopath to incorporate the 'set print area'
option on the file menu OR in the page setup allow the fit-to-page option for
those forms that HAVE to replicate exisiting paper forms. I know the
functionality is present in Excel BUT there WILL be situations where the
Infopath form is not allowed to be customised enough to fit on one page.

A frustrating point but when the CEO has to fill it in aswell and he wants
it to look like the exisiting form what can you do?

This would also allow for security and audit trail of forms as i am going to
send the form that the originator sends to his Authoriser to print, along to
Central Payments electronically so a matching process can take place between
the paper that the Authoriser sends in to the electronic version, in my case.

Hi Adam,

I don't know if this will help or not but what you can do is create a
"print view" for the form that gets filled out. In this manner, since the
form completion is done on a different view, you may be able to design the
"print view" in such a way that it mirrors your paper form.

I hope this may help!

I know what you mean Scott but not realistic as the Directors complaining
about too much change are the ones that have to sign it off and hence no joy
