Design considerations for printing

When a form is sent to print, both the form and the data are loaded into memory and the resulting layout also builds in memory. This means that there is a limit to the size of the final output.

The amount of data and the number of pages in a form are the most significant factors that affect memory usage; however, there are other factors in a form that can also affect memory usage. Keep the following factors in mind when designing forms for print.

  • Avoid using choice subforms.

  • Use a caption in a text field to label a field instead of static text.

  • Avoid using rich text .

  • Avoid overuse of subforms and nested subforms.

  • Avoid the overuse of rectangle and line objects.
