preview doesn't match printer or pdf

[cmartin]

Hello all-

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have a big text field on my layout (a form letter with merge fields). This is followed by a container field which holds the signature for the letter. I have attached a screenshot of what my form letter looks like in preview mode, as well as what it looks like when printed to pdf, which is the same as how it looks if printed directly from filemaker. Basically the signature "moves." Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? I know I could just move the signature up (to overlap with the body of the letter) and get it to print correctly, but this becomes a major pain if there are any changes in the text of the letter as I then need to test repeatedly to get the signature in the right place.

Thanks-

C

Hi C

We had a similar problem recently where a graphic actually flipped upside down when printed to pdf. Instead of using Adobe to print to pdf, I installed some freeware called PDF995 and all graphics are now correctly reproduced.

I have no explanation for yours/my/our problem though!

cheers,

Wendy
