Page orientation in PDF cfreation with FPML not working (Add'l info)

[Mike Schwartz]

     I'm doing some PDF print testing with the filePro fpml PDF printer
driver (filePro 5.7.03.03 running on SCO Openserver 6).

 

     Most of the reports and forms print just fine with the values that are
in the FPML print table.  For example, the "filepro markup language" command
<font size="8"> does make the font smaller.

 

     However, the FPML command <page size="letter" orientation="landscape">
doesn't seem to work to change the PDF format to "Landscape".  I've tried
adding the command <page height="396" width="612">, but that still doesn't
change the resulting reports to "Landscape mode.  The reports come out in
"Portrait" mode no matter what I do.  

 

-----    New info  ----

     By the way, since I am using the older filePro 5.7.03, I did try
"Orient=" instead of "Orientation="

 

     After finding an old email from Richard Kriess, I tried putting thius
line into the output processing:

 

qt(1,*)=chr("34"); or(50,*)="<page orient=" {qt {"landscape" {qt <">"

 

     and then inserting 1 blank line on the header, and putting

 

*or 

   into the blank line.  

 

    This prints the raw line on the header:

 

*****

<page orient="landscape">

04/03/17       Test Company      Page 1

OPEN PAYABLES REPORT 

*****

 

----- End of New Info ----

 

     What do I have to do to get the FPML print driver to turn the page to
Landscape Mode?

 

Thanks!
