MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / December 2004reduce form size in print view and hard copy
We have an infopath SP1 form that is based on a 2-sided 2-page source document. When the infopath version prints, the form looks the same, however since we cannot size the user controls or control the display fonts, the print out version is 8-12 pages long. The user finds this long printout hard to use, since these forms are part of a medical chart. We have considered piping the output to a post script file and using Adobe to size and print. Does anyone have another way to address this print view issue? Create a print view for the edit view -- this will help. You can set it up however you need to and not mess with the user input view at all.

The issue is that we cannot resize the controls that the user is selecting, so the print view comes out larger than the screen view. > Create a print view for the edit view -- this will help.

Does setting the size (width) for the controls in Printview to Auto help? I only learned about this setting yesterday in this group. HTH, Ed Richard > We are already using a print view.

What kind of controls are these? Standard InfoPath controls? Usually for a print view, you can get away with using an expression box for just about everything--since nothing is editable.
