Re: Open printing to PDF bug?
Bug reports should be crisp and address a particular bug. One can add details to a existing bug report or suggest changes in parts. Additional reports for the same bug should not be made. Often though, it is only after the fact that it is clear that two bugs are the same. Fortunately, it is possible for the bug wranglers to mark a bug as a duplicate of another. I think there are changes coming in the reporting of bugs, so that may not exactly apply.

A workaround might be to take a picture of the region, put that on another card, rotate that, and print from that card. -- Dar On Sep 25, 2010, at 5:59 AM, William de Smet wrote: Hi everyone, Thanks for the replies.

The printmargins will also play a role in how much it needs to be scaled. If the scaling is too large, then it prints right off the edge of the page. If William's original intention is to make the text larger for the printout, then probably I'd increase the textsize of the field before printing, then change it back afterward. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Open printing to PDF bug?
William, I tried this: on mouseUp reset printing set the printPaperSize to 595,842 set the printPaperOrientation to "landscape" set the printmargins to 72,36,0,0 set the printscale to 1.1 open printing to pdf "test.pdf" -- add error check here print this card from 193,90 to 833,570 -- add error check here close printing end mouseUp And I get the right part of my images, rectangles and fields cut off. It cuts off at the unrotated paper width. It looks like it scaled right, but it has the cutoff. I tried setting the rotated paper size after setting orientation, but it is the same. I think with some other fiddling, parts showed up but not all. I'm not an expert at all the printing parameters, but it seems to me you are right. It seems there is a bug. Maybe somebody with more printing experience can say. Dar Scott On Sep 22, 2010, at 10:44 AM, William de Smet wrote: Hi there, It seems I have the same problem!

Re: Open printing to PDF bug?
I set parameters for the entire print batch before "open printing to pdf". Am I doing that wrong? Try setting up for A4: set the printPaperSize to "595,842" Try printPaperOrientation instead of printRotated. If those don't work, try putting margins and printscale before the batch. I'm guessing. Mine works but I'm not using landscape. And I use full-page printing. Dar Scott On Sep 22, 2010, at 10:44 AM, William de Smet wrote: Hi there, It seems I have the same problem!
