A correction. The images are reduced to 1/4 size ONLY when printing to
PDF on Windows (printing to paper results in the image at expected size)
This could be specific to Windows and the PDF "printer" (Foxit) being
used. More testing is required. Premature posting ;-)

I know this topic has been covered previously, probably many many
times, but my search skills are failing me.
We have a "printing stack" in our app that, among other things,
provides a "Print Preview" view. This takes the printer margins, page
size, orientation, etc and creates a stack with the dimensions of the
page and some guidelines showing the margins, headers, footers, and so
on. A rectangle "PrintArea", is set to the available print area inside
the margins. Whatever is being printed is then placed inside this
"PrintArea". So if the contents of a field is being printed a field is
sized fit inside the "PrintArea" and bottom of the field is adjusted
by the pageHeights. If am image is being printed, the image is scaled
to fit inside the "PrintArea" and so on.
All well and good, except for images. If I size and image to fit ON
THE SCREEN within the "PrintArea" and then I print it (to a Printer OR
to PDF, the image appear are roughly 1/4 size. I assume this is the
72/75 dpi screen resolutions being put on a 300 dpi PDF or printer?
Is there some easy Livecode trick to just get images to print in a PDF
or on paper at the same size as seen on the screen?
Thank you in advance!
