Template for screen another to print

Avatar

Level 2

Hi,

First of all, I'm belgian and I appologise for my bad english.

I want to do a file which will be optimized for screen reading and completing the PDF form => Landscape.

When people are satisfied of the result : they could save (I know how to) and print.

To print : I'd like acrobat use another template => portrait.

Is it possible (with script?) to do ?

Thanks

Nath

You could create 2 pages, 1 with the landscape layout and 1 with the portrait layout and then link all your fields using the global binding property. The portrait layout would have it's presence set to hidden so that the user only sees the landscape page. Then on the print button you could set the portrait page to visible and print only that page.

Thanks !

My file will have ± 70 pages + the same for the "print" ... isnt it to large ?

the field have to grow up with content. Is it a problem ?

In the landscape, the fields are bigger than the portrait. How do it ?

Thanks a lot

70 pages would turn into 140 doing it the way I suggested and the file size would be huge. The fact that the form will be dynamic will also slow things down since the entire form will have to push down each time the user expands a field that creates a new page. I've got a 10 page dynamic form and even that is fairly slow. Off the top of my head I would say that Designer would not be a good option for what you're trying to do.
