I would like to find out if there is a way to reconfigure the PDF margins of a patient encounter document. Currently, it prints on almost half a page and the left hand is almost empty. I am interested in moving the document tabs etc to the left of the page, so the document can be printed on the entire page. see attached:
Hi @DCGPNJ ,
Can you post a screenshot of your template for the form layout?
It looks like you might have the label columns set too large for the layout columns.
There is a great video posted by a physician on YouTube and the wiki that goes into great detail about this issue:
Yes, your labelcols are too large. Change that to a 1 instead of 2 and then for options add “span entire row”
Also, your total columns is at 2+6 = 8. That means your general layout needs to support 8 columns. Most often the default is either 6 or 4 (it’s different for the print layout vs the screen print out).
Make sure that whatever your Layout Properties → Layout columns number is that it matches the total amount of your columns for smoother rendering.
Thank you Sarah. Your suggestion was perfect. Now print works perfectly. Thank you, Thank you. You are awesome.
Another question: I have CK Editor configured for macros. When I use the following special characters: ; / ( ) # ? & * • then the print document does not print correctly. I get the following print. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this glitch?
When I print, the lines don’t align with the top line, especially if I am trying to use bullet points.
Yes, the HTML is very yucky. It needs to be cleaned up.

You have blank spaces with this code:

You have unused code here:

CK Editor does not always use web safe characters. It’s a lot of playing around to get the printout just right. This may be of interest to you:
Cheers!
