I have some of the Custom Documents. But these documents is little bigger than Even A3 Size paper. What I did I make A4 Size paper using Xerox Machine . and after scanning these documents . I have made A4 Size pictures using Photoshop.and finally I have included these Pictures in the SDI Forms.But these documents should be printed in Bigger than Even A3 Size paper .can you tell me How this Pages needs to be Printed on Needle Printer??.Does form1.PrintForm Supports A3 Size Paper or Much Bigger than A3 Size paper???????.Thx For Any Help !!!.

Or, use ADOBE to change the size.

By Needle printer do you mean a dot matrix printer?

As far as I know print form does not scale so it will print related to the size of the form not the size of the paper. The printer determines what paper can be used.

As suggested hook up a printer and test it though I am not sure why you are printing images printing formatted text is much faster and is fairly simple.

Sorry for Redirection anywhere else related with Font .When I Typing in MsWord . letter is Coming on Arabic letter .But when I type in Textbox which is Placed on The SDI Form .not Coming in Arabic Letter. Let me know some idea.Any help would be Highly appreciated .

You do know that you can print directly to a printer and set the printer fonts on the fly right? I have no idea why you are telling about the text box.

I thought the question was about printing?

Yes .When i tried to debug it says Expression is Too Complex.kindly find the attachment.

Private Sub UserControl_Initialize()
    On Error Resume Next
    m_WINNT = (Environ$("OS") = "Windows_NT")
'    On Error Resume Next 'o
'    m_ExtenderScale = UserControl.Extender.Container.ScaleMode
'    If Err.Number Then
'        Err.Clear
'        m_ExtenderScale = UserControl.Parent.ScaleMode
'        If Err.Number Then
'            Err.Clear
'            m_ExtenderScale = vbTwips
'        End If
'    End If
'    On Error GoTo 0
m_ExtenderScale = vbTwips
End Sub

The attachment is useless. What is the code?

In this thread Mr Firoz has two problems:
1) he wants to print in A3 size on a Printer which is able to print that size.
2) He needs to print Arabic letters and the textboxes and the whole code needs to be able to support Unicode that way.

I never worked with that so I'm sorry I cannot support him neither with the printer size, nor with arabic letters. Is there anyone who already did such things using arabic letters?
