Is report (8.4.1) output on a card possible?

Hello everyone,

I want to create a 'report' in Congos report studio 8.4.1 with member info to print on a card with the size of a credit card. This is a simple card without magnetic strip or chip on it.  I have already a special card printer (EDIsecure XID 8300) for it.
In report studio, you can only choose the standard output html, pdf, xls 20xx, etc, but no card size (W: 3.375 inch H: 2.125 inch)
When I use html output you get a piece of the header and card on the card. When I choose pdf output I have to deal with different measures when converting to pdf, still no correct output on the card.

Has anyone any experience with this or tips about it?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Have you tried setting up specific sizes for the page and the containers on the page? Have you removed the "hidden" 2px padding on the edges of the page body? (by manually specifying 0 for top, bottom, left and right)

You should be able to tweak things to get the desired output exactly where you need it on the card.

Cheers!

MF.
Meep!
