Seasoned pros, I am creating PDF files from The VFP report writer using XFRX. My report prints two records per page in two columns on a landscaped standard sheet. Now I need to modify the report to print a single record on a half sheet of paper. The report layout is exactly the same for the single and double record reports and I would like to be able to edit the report once and have the changes applied to both the single and the double record format. The report layout is tricky so I don't want to try to sync them manually.)
The first challenge is to convert the report to output to a a 5.5 X 8.5 page. I attempted to change the report to print a single record by going to Report Properties and changing the number of columns from 2 to 1, the column width from 11 to 5.5, and the paper size under page setup to User defined. I continue to get pages defined as 8.5 by 11 from the PDF output. How do I convince the system to use a half page? The second challenge is how to make sure that the report layout is exactly he same in the full page and half page formats. Does it make sense to open the .frx file as a database and copy the appropriate records to a second .frx file to keep the the two reports synced? Other ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!
