RE: [flexcoders] need some printing advice

2012-09-11 Thread Sells, Fred

This code produces blank 2nd and 4th page with 
remainder on third page=
if(printJob.start()){//start the print job
  printJob.addObject(printcontainer);
  var validNextPage = printDataGrid.validNextPage; 
//use local var to help debug
  if (validNextPage) { //worst case scenario two 
pages max
printDataGrid.nextPage();
printcontainer.validateNow();
printJob.addObject(printcontainer); //get 
blank 2nd page, remaining data on 3rd page
  }
  printJob.send();

replacing printcontainer.validateNow()
with   printDataGrid.validateNow()   produces the same result
removing all calls to .validateNow() produces the same result.
Removing the call to .nextPage()  results in printing the contents of the 1st 
page on the third page with 2nd and 4th pages blank

I'm doing a print to Adobe PDF and if I change the paper size to legal, I get 
the same results just with more white space at the bottom of 1st and 3rd pages.

I switched to Foxit Phantom Printer with same result.

It's as if there is an invisible footer on the container or datagrid that force 
a blank page?  It's almost as if there is something in the MXML that is forcing 
a blank 2nd page

Try calling vlidateNow on printContainer instead of printDataGrid

Have you sized the printContainer to the printJob’s page size?  Otherwise the 
blank is overrun from each page.
