>>>>>>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
>>>>>>

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

>>>António,
>>>I don't want to be the wise guy. Bur your assumption that the report is in milimeter is wrong, it depends on the setting, see screenprint attached,

>>I think that the settings you're referring to do not affect the content of the Expr field, but only the visual components of the report editor (like the ruler or the displaying of the object coordinates). Even when set to inches or pixels, the page metrics in the Expr field are still required to be expressed in tenths of millimeter. Aren't they?

>Antonio,
>I do think you are correct, however my Expr field does not show the same content as yours, in mine it has 'Papersize = 9' for A4, and since 11x17 inch or to be precise 11 17/24 x 16 13/24 inch = A3, user has to set to A3 (find the papersize id for A3), provided his printer can handle that.
