Forcing Landscape Printing in Flex 2 & 3
I’ve been working on a Flex app where I needed to force landscape printing to ensure it would print out well.  Relying on the user to choose landscape won’t work.  Steven Sacks had the original solution in AS2/AS1. Darron Schall had some additional advice for Flex 1.5 built upon from Lin Lin’s advice.  I’m using Flex 3 with AS3, so had to build upon their work.  There were also some additional things I needed to do that they didn’t mention.  The additional items are embedding fonts, forcing validation, and making the right choice between vector & bitmap printing.

Also known as “Abstract Brian”, he’s a self-proclaimed OOP Purist, always striving for writing the most maintainable, well architected code. He’s also a Cairngorm fan.
