Q&A - Question

Hi,

The only way that I found is changing the printtemplate.tpl file:

[TatukGIS PrintTemplate]
; PAGESIZE can be set only on PDF device
  PAGESIZE=297.00mm,210.00mm

I've changed the PAGESIZE to alternate the layout (landscape/ portrait). However, when I try to change the PAGESIZE to print other pagesize, like A3 (297.00 mm; 420.00 mm), I got an error message:

Error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Generic error GDI+

Is it correct to change the paper size in TPL file? Is there other way to change the paper size and paper orientation?

I do not whether you use the Editor (maybe as admin tool for ASP.NET) but if you have the Editor, does it work in the Editor this A3 template?

I have just tested it in our ASP.NET application and it works.
Our code is still as from a sample from TatukGIS but it works.

PdfUrl = "<div><A HREF='" + GIS.PrintPDF(Page.MapPath("~/vb/printtemplate_A3.tpl"), "Rendering of district|TatukGIS Developer Kernel for ASP.NET") + "' target='new'>View PDF</A></div>"   

This is the template content of our TPL file:

; '*' means the calculations are performed relative to margins of a print area
; Without '*' calculations will be done relative to the page border.
; For PDF output margins are always equal to the page size.

Maybe you got another problem in the template???


 

HI,

Yeah, It was another problem in our template. A sintaxe error, actually.

Thank you.
