FM7 Not rendering or printing graphics properly

Featured Replies

When using eps files in a container field, the monitor view is distorted, but prints perfectly. When creating a pdf file through the print dialogue, the pdf renders the same incorrect image seen on the monitor.

Tiff files render perfectly on the monitor, but do not print properly on an inkjet printer nor a postscript laser printer.

If I convert the graphic file to a pdf or pict file and import it into my container field, the graphic is pixelated on the monitor, but prints perfectly to both printers, however the pdf created through the print dialogue renders the image perfectly in the created pdf document.

This is driving me nuts. I understand FM7 is now using a new and "improved" graphics engine called GDI + but has, I believe, resulted in this problem which I never experienced in FM 5.5. I also lost the ability to outline my fonts which has destroyed visual compatibility with years of document printed using outline fonts for header titles, etc.

Is this a temporary problem or the way of the future or am I just doing something wrong.

I have found, that quite a lot of funny looking or funny printing objects suddenly look and print OK after resizing the part they reside in by exactly one pixel. Looks like FMs printing engine has a rounding error somewhere.
