Problems printing to Adobe Acrobat Distiller 5
I have an application developed using Delphi 5 Pro and Report Builder
Standard 7.03.
The detail band consists of a TppRegion in which I have laid out, side by
side, two TppShapes set to stRectangle, and with stretchWithParent True.
In each shape I have placed a TppDBMemo object.
The Memos have Stretch = True.
When the customer prints to Adobe, 90% of the report comes out fine, but
occasionally there is some missing text.
When the problem occurs, the text in one of the memos is incomplete. A
memo which should wrap over several lines shows only some of the lines. A
blank space occurs where the missing lines should be.
So, for instance the memo which should look like:-
--------------------------
This is the first line
This is the second line
This is the third line
This is the fourth line
This is the fifth line
This is the sixth line
This is the seventh line
--------------------------
Comes out as:-
--------------------------
This is the first line
This is the fifth line
This is the seventh line
--------------------------
The memo content does not contain line breaks, just one paragraph which is
word-wrapped.
The preview looks fine.
The customer is running Adobe Acrobat Distiller 5 on Windows ME.

Is your user able to print to paper successfully? You might try using
printing to PDF using a different machine (different OS) and see if that
helps. It sounds like there could be a resource leak somewhere causing this
behavior.

The customer can print to paper successfully.
When printing to Adobe Distiller, the fault is totally repeatable, i.e.
always the same lines missing each time we print the same report.
We don't have access to another machine with Acrobat Distiller on it, so
can't try that just yet.
However, the customer is planning to replace the Windows Me machine
shortly with a new machine running Windows XP Home, so will be able to try
it then.
