>>>Hi, Dmitry,
>>>
>>>Go to Settings in your Windows system, select a capable printer, choose printing preferences, add a custom paper of the size you need (I used a PDF printer, for that). The new size will be available in the page setup of the Report editor (you may choose portrait and landscape at your will).
>>>
>>>Required update: the above solution would apply if your customer could replicate exactly the identification of the new custom paper size.
>>>
>>>A more general solution is to fill (by hand or programmatically) the first "Expr" field of the report (opened as a table) with the following content:
>>>
>>>ORIENTATION=1
>>>COLOR=2
>>>PAPERLENGTH=4318
>>>PAPERWIDTH=2794

>>Antonio,

>>Thank you very much!

>>Question, how did you determine that 4318 is 17" and 2794 is 11"?

>17'' = 43.18 cm, but the unit used in the report metrics is tenth of millimetre. Therefore, 4318.

>(I hope this is right...)
Thank you!
