reduce form size in print view and hard copy

[sharond]

We have an infopath SP1 form that is based on a 2-sided 2-page source
document. When the infopath version prints, the form looks the same, however
since we cannot size the user controls or control the display fonts, the
print out version is 8-12 pages long. The user finds this long printout hard
to use, since these forms are part of a medical chart. We have considered
piping the output to a post script file and using Adobe to size and print.
Does anyone have another way to address this print view issue?

We are already using a print view. We cannot reduce the size of the html
formatting.

We are already using a print view. The issue is that we cannot resize the
controls that the user is selecting, so the print view comes out larger than
the screen view.

Does setting the size (width) for the controls in Printview to Auto help? I
only learned about this setting yesterday in this group.

Create a print view for the edit view -- this will help. You can set it
up however you need to and not mess with the user input view at all.
