Any hints or helpful tips out there for getting more data on a PDF without going to a tiny font?
Much obliged for any assistance.
BTW can you put Panel and Width commands into a style sheet?
NNone

Orientation = landscape helps.

You could narrow the gap between each line.

Lenny, how do you narrow the gap between lines?
Tx!

You would put it in the STYLE section.

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=DATA, TOPGAP=0.03, $
TYPE=DATA, BOTTOMGAP=0.03, $

ENDSTYLE

Same for RIGHTGAP and LEFTGAP, you're gonna be impressed how much space you'll get back by changing those values. Use PAGESIZE = LEGAL and ORIENTATION = LANSCAPE to get a bigger page.

Reduce the space between the columns too.

Thanks for the great ideas! Very helpful!

Ever wonder what the default values for TOPGAP, BOTTOMGAP, LEFTGAP and RIGHTGAP are? I see nothing about this in the documentation.

you can also put some of your sort fields in headings or subheads and make sure to
SET SQUEEZE = ON
in the stylesheet.

Carol, does SQUEEZE=ON work with PDFs or only with HTML?

SQUEEZE works nicely with PDF's!

You can also set it in the stylesheet, here's an example

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
PAGESIZE='LETTER',
LEFTMARGIN=0.150000,
RIGHTMARGIN=0.150000,
TOPMARGIN=0.055556,
BOTTOMMARGIN=0.055556,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,
$

Good Luck!

Here's the defaults for xxxGAP...

PDF/PS:
The default for top and bottom gaps are to not add any space. The line spacing is determined by the measured heights of the fonts on the lines. The default left gap is 0. The default right gap is calculated to be proporitional to the size of the text. Any explicitly set values override this algorithm.

HTML w/CSS: The defaults are all 0. We let the
browser do the formatting unless the user explicitly set the values.

I'll have this added to the documentation.
