All developers using Nintex forms on Office 365 have a major issue of printing the forms if they are using the standard edition of Nintex where the print functionality is yet to come and is only available on the Enterprise edition.
There are thousands of issues on Google for the same, so what do we do now when a user asks for a print functionality on their form and it's urgent as they can’t wait for the next roll up.
Now when I say the print functionality issue, it’s not about placing a button and adding a JavaScript function print() on it, it’s about the printing of the whole form.
Issue:
The issue is that if you print your Nintex form, if it is a small form which is visible completely on your screen size, it will get printed, but if the form is long and is not visible on your screen size, it will print only the part which is viewable on your screen and not the form.
All developers have been asking to set a rollout with the printing and recently they did it for the enterprise edition but not the standard edition. So what will you do if you have such a requirement?
Solution:
- Try to decrease the size of the form as much as you can. ( if not possible, leave it).
- Secondly, it’s here in the screenshot.
![print]()
When it comes to the print dialog on the browser,
a. Change the Paper Size to A3.
b. Check In Background graphics under the options which will be checked out by default.
Now you don’t need an A3 to print it, you can print the whole form using A4 it’s just that the whole form will get printed in multiple pages as its usual functionality but you get the whole form and not just half what you see on screen.
Now you can make your clients happy by using this simple workaround.
