This feature is made available only from version 8.4. It is very useful for printing a very wide report and hence this recipe will show you how to use it.

Ensure that the Allow horizontal pagination option is checked.
Run the report in PDF format to test it.
How it works...
This is again a straight forward and menu-driven feature. When a report can't fit in one...
