Have raised my issue as separate thread here - http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,16462.msg70280.html#new

Hi,

Is there any progress in the very nice feature that was suggested in this topic ?

For us here it would be so nice to be able to change the paper size and margin when we create some PDF. I'm still trying to figure how we can reach our goal and the new feature would be a breaktrough for us.

Thanks,

Martin

Hmm - haven't seen anything committed or posted on this front. Have you? Do share :-)

More screen captures attached.

wow

most excellent work indeed marty!

I think we should aim to get this into 3.4.1 / 4.0.1 (considering that 3.4 / 4.0 stable is around the corner)

Wanna file an issue and attach your combined diff to it. Make sure all your "new" code is properly licensed and copyrighted. Some guidelines here:

Would also be great if you can hang out on IRC, so we can chat and ask questions in real time etc

Great work on the margins feature, I can't wait for the next release!

I can set the left margin in PDF message templates to very close to the left side (-40pt) with <div style="margin: -30pt 54pt 54pt -40pt;>, but the top margin (-30pt) is ignored...

So if I want to set the top margin manually for PDF message templates, where can I find the equivalent of the Label.php, where the margins are defined? Or does it perhaps not exist?

Thanks for the answer Marty, that sounds wonderful! Managing PDF templates will become so much easier. I am in a bit of a hurry to launch the site though, so I will use this temporary solution until version 3.4.2 is released.

I found the place PDF margins are defined, in sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Contact/Form/Task/PDFLetterCommon.php -- so I changed line 175 from

  $html = '<html><head><style>body { margin: 56px; }</style></head><body>';
    to
  $html = '<html><head><style>body { margin: 0px; }</style></head><body>';
...and inserted <div style="margin: 20pt 54pt 54pt 20pt;> for the desired position. I know, never hack core 8o)
