[MI-L] Issues with printing PDFs.

Hi MI-Listers   Just wondering if anybody has experienced the following behaviour (and importantly - overcome it).   When printing from the Layout window (using either MI Pro 8.0 or 8.5) to PDF, small fine lines are appearing horizontally and vertically (like a grid) on small areas of the out

[MI-L] text printing as black rectangles?

Hello all,   I am interested in any suggestions on the cause of angled text printing in the form of black rectangle from MapInfo.  I have seen previous postings that mention printer options for 'print true type fonts as graphics' but I do not believe that to be the answer to my problem.  Th

Re: [MI-L] Issues with printing PDFs.

Hi Ian   Thanks for the suggestions.   At this point, increasing the resolution of the PDFs hasn't solved the issue, although I'm keen to explore this a little further (at his point the output has been at 600dpi in all of the PDF printers mentioned).  Might also try decreasing it?   Also, the

Re: [MI-L] Issues with printing PDFs.

Hello again   Following on from Ian's suggestion, we tried a couple more print resolutions to see if they had any effect on the layouts that were printing with the hairlines on them.   Normal print resolution we use for PDFs is 600dpi - has lines.   Also tried 300dpi, 1200dpi and 2400dpi.  Al

Hi Sandy! Do you mean that you have opened an xls file in a MI browser window? Then it has no map objects and it would be pointless to try and create a legend for it. Else I think you need to elaborate your question slightly. Hälsning / Best regards Mats.E FB Engineering

[MI-L] Integrated Mapping

Hi All, I'm trying to use the following command to save a copy of a map window opened via integrated mapping by MSAccess MIObj.Do "Save window  frontwindow() as ""c:\junk.wmf"" type ""wmf""" This works fine the first time but all subsequent times (without rebooting the PC) fail with a message:

Re: [MI-L] Integrated Mapping

Hi Ian, I just tried the command multiple times in the MapBasic window, which worked perfectly, so the problem may be with using FrontWindow(). Have you tried verifying that FrontWindow() returns the ID of the right window ? If it's the same for all calls, you may retrieve it once and for all
