Printing Letters
May 03, 2010, 05:49:48 pm
Hi All,

I'm having some troubles producing printed letters off of the CiviCRM system.  Tokens and CRM integration are great but the letters are produced in legal paper size. Do you know how I can change that to be standard 8 1/2 x 11?

Thanks,

Marc

I am having similar issue with 3.1.3. When I open the generated PDF file and set size to 100% in Adobe Acrobat, I see the size 11.69x16.54 in. I would like to see as 8.5 x 11 inch.

While I was writing this message, I tried the following that seems to work. Nice to add in the base code if this work for others.

sites\all\modules\civicrm\CRM\Contact\Form\Task:
In PDFLetterCommon.php:

OLD:
CRM_Utils_PDF_Utils::html2pdf( $html, "CiviLetter.pdf", 'portrait' );

NEW:
CRM_Utils_PDF_Utils::html2pdf( $html, "CiviLetter.pdf", 'portrait', 'letter' );

Hope this helps.

I would also like to have letter size paper as the default.

Although I have never run into any issues with legal size paper, my letter was just one page & all my efforts used letter with no problem, I did write some documentation recently.  check: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,14588.0.html

Letter size wouldn't be the default for many countries - obviously whatever it is, ideally the UI would let admins set their own default size.

we've changed this to 'letter' for the 3.2 release

would be a good contribution to the code base to make this more flexible and allow folks to change this sitewide via the admin UI
