Two pages on a single sheet

rbuser

Hi,
I use RBuilder 6.03 and Delphi 6.
I need to print a TppReport based on A4 sheets, printing two pages on each
sheet automatic reducing the layout.
Is it possible? Someone knows a simple way?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Franco,

Take a look at the following example of creating a booklet style report.
This essentially prints two pages of the report on single piece of paper.

Hi Nico, thanks for the rapid answer.

I watched the example, it is very interesting for me, but it isn't exactly
what I look for.
I have a TppReport that is based on A4 sheet: it occupy all the sheet.
I would like to print this TppReport reducing the lay-out of 50% and
printing each sheet with 2 pages inside of it.

An example of this mode of printing is what you can do when you print from
any program using a laser printer and you setting the option
"pages for sheet" in the setting windows of the printer.

Is there a simple way to say "2 pages for sheet" using RBuilder?
I would want not to modify my TppReport or the code that launch the
printing.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Franco,

Unfortunately there is no built-in way to do this in ReportBuilder. One
option would be to export your report to PDF, then use Acrobat Reader to
print mulitple pages per sheet.
