Can PDF Buttons compress output to fit width

Hello, does anyone know if there is the ability to create a PDF when there are too many columns to fit, at the current font size, on one (landscape oriented) PDF sheet? Currently I have changed orientation to landscape, but still lose about 1/3 of my columns. They are truncated, and just gone. Ideally, there would be an option to 'compress-to-width' which reduces the font size of all elements in the table cells until all data fits, and is displayed on PDF, or until the min-font-size is reached.
Thanks! Lincoln

Hi Lincoln,
Unfortunately not really. You could have a look at the pdfmake documentation to see if there are any other layout options that would be applicable, but I think the issue would probably require splitting the row into two rows (which might be really difficult to read and possibly to do) or limiting which columns are included.

However, if you have Acrobat Pro installed (not just the Reader), you can use the print button and print to a PDF. It won't maintain the table style but it will automatically fit everything on the page(s).
