Please explain more. Do you mean the width of the form? What kind of form is this, AcroForm or LiveCycle? Why is the data horizontal?

Hi,

If size of the page(Width or horizontal)increase more than 200 means the page appear as blank. (You see the size File-->Propery-->Page Size). Here mention as X(Width) and Y(Height) size of the page. For the my report X (Width) is increased more than 200 in. How i can solve the problem.Regards,

Ok, so you have an application that generates wide documents, and you are printing to PDF through distiller? which as a 200 inch page width limit. You're pages should in fact be much wider than 200 inches? But distiller is cutting them off. When viewing this PDF in Reader X the page appears blank? Obviously you've hit a limit with Reader X.

I would suggest downloading an early version of Reader to see if it has the same issue. Ideally, even if the page size is beyond the limit, Acrobat should still display some content. There were major UI changes in Acrobat X which may have changed this behavior. If wide pages cause viewing problems then growing the width is not going to help. Only decreasing the width will help. I'd suggest coming up with a way to break up your data for display.

You cannot change the page size dynamically in Reader, this can only be done in Acrobat. This article provides instructions and an example PDF: Page Boundaries
