bad PDF with flowing merged field

Hi,

when I print to PDF, with a layout with 1 large merged field that flows over more than 1 page, the text is invisible.

The text is not skipped so it must actually be there, because it creates 2 pages.

Another time, it is just bad (see file attached).

This happens:

- merged fields only

- only when the text flows over more than 1 page.

- I used Win2000, FMP6.0 and Acrobat Professional 6.0.

- printing on printer: works!

- flowing merged fields on Mac OS X: works!

As a workaround, I can use text fields (not merged). But I need the merging because then I can set the line height to a proper size, so no lines are cut in half when text is flowing into a next page.

Very annoying! Can someone help me please ? confused.gif
