layout looks fine in layout/preview mode but...

[Batfastad]

Hi

We use FileMaker 5.5 and 6

I've noticed this problem before and it's really irritating!

When designing a layout that I intend to use for print purposes I align all the fields and their labels so they look fine in layout/browse/preview mode.

The layout consists of a logo, field labels and merge fields.

The field labels and the merge fields are different fonts and different sizes.

Then in this case I'm using Adobe acrobat to print to a PDF file.

When I print to the PDF the merge fields are not lined up correctly with their field labels.

The same happens when I print the layout directly from preview mode, so that eliminates the problem being PDF related. It is filemaker related.

It's so annoying as the layout is all lined up fine in preview mode, but when printed to anything - PDF or a printer, the merge fields no longer match up with their field labels.

I've attached two files...

A screen grab of my layout mode, and the resulting PDF.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Surely this is a fairly major issue - it happens in both FMP 5.5 and FMP 6 on windows.

Thanks

Didn't know you could only attach 1 file

The PDF is attached on the previous message.

This one has the layout mode screen grab

Any ideas?

Thanks
