[FX.php List] [OFF] printable very wide table?

[Joel Shapiro]

Hi all

I've got a request to have a printable web page that would be a  
potentially _very_ wide table (data coming from FM).

I've suggested to the client that instead we create an excel  
spreadsheet from the data so users can print from Excel, but the  
client doesn't want that.

In FMP, the client is thinking they could create a layout w/ all text  
rotated 90 degrees, so the "width" could be indefinite as it runs from  
one page to the next.  I've done a quick test of CSS transform:rotate  
and that's not gonna work well for the web page.

I'm thinking of outputting to PDF, making sure the row height is  
consistent across all pages, so a user could line up the pages after  
they've printed...  but thought I'd check in here to see if anybody's  
got any thoughts or suggestions.

TIA,
-Joel
