Hi Balvant,

Are you asking about custom margin or custom page? I think you custom page size of cheques.

see link how to define custom page and set to report.

or You can set custom size by programatically

Thanks Ajay,

Given links is very usefull but when i will create a new form in Printer and faxes -> server properties with the name of "Cheque", paper size 9.00in width and 3.66in heignt but the same is not available in crystal report -> Design ->Printer Setup -> Paper size.

User will export this report in pdf format for print on Cheques (continuous stationary). I have already done this type of projects but all were for standart A4 size printing but in this case its different. Making a report with fix paper size (9.00in Width and 3.66in Height) Is this a right way to do this or any another way please suggest.

Thanks for help.
