How accurately can Rev/Dreamcard print? Can I make marks on a data entry
form? In HC I was using Postscript code to draw small rectangles (about 1/8
inch long) and precisely position them on some forms. Does Rev/Dreamcard
have similar capabilities? I'd probably be printing to an Epson ink jet
printer, but maybe a postscript printer.

The main problem I ran into was not being able to print close enough to the
paper edge, but this was mainly a printer problem.

The good news is that you can position elements to pixel accuracy (~72dpi), and by setting the printMargins property you can use the full printable area available to your printer.

The bad news is that you can't determine from within Rev what that printable area is.

There's a request filed for this:

In the meantime you can provide a custom dialog for your users to specify the printable area.
