Okay I have completed all my forms by rendering out all the data and now need to adjust the style to my liking. One issue that I am having is understanding the margins of a smartform and how they are defined? From what I have researched, the page formats are defined in T-code SPAD where the width and height of the page is set. However, I don't understand where the margins are determined.
I have placed a window that contains a table at x-position 0 with the width of the window and table the full page width (DINA4 = 210mm). In print preview, the document renders out fine with the table row stretching from end to end, but when I actually print it there is a 7mm left margin and a 10mm right margin, which cuts off the end of my table row.
So my question is, where are these margins set? Or is this because I have not/did not configure my printer settings correctly to communicate with the printer correctly? Once again I would like to reiterate that my print preview works correctly but the print output does not.
Hi,
You can adjust the Margin by setting left Margin for your windows. For instance, to have a left margin of 2 CM, maintain the Left Margin of all the windows in all pages to 2 CM.

Okay from what you just said, translated to simple terms is pretty much: You cannot set the margins of the ACTUAL printout.
Here are my current settings:
Page format = LETTER
Left margin of all windows = 0.0
Window width = 21.00cm
device type = LX4039 (Lexmark Optra T616)
On the print preview The tables are left justified with no left margin, and there is a right margin that appears to be 8mm wide. This is great if it actually printed this.
When I actually print it though, I get this output:
Left margin of all windows = 7mm
Right margin of all windows = 5mm
All windows that were on the right side of my document are cut off early and the tables only have a width of about 20.7cm.
I could shrink my tables to make them fit but then they will not look centered, and I am trying to make every aspect of this form as professional as possible since our customers will see them. Can anyone fix or acknowledge that there is no setting I can alter to fix this?
