Hi i'm using D2007 and RBuilder 11.05. I'm printing a report via PDF Device. I have some tppdbtext objects in my detail band placed in a precise position. Position on this objects change as i print generated PDF. Tppdbtext are not only shitf. I suppose there's a scaling... Is there a way to maintain position of this objects?
What are the DBTexts shifting relative to? Are you able to add a line or shape component to the report to see this shifting effect or are you comparing the printed output of the report to the printed output of Adobe? If possible, please send a simple example that demonstrates the issue that I can run on my machine in zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.
I'm comparing the printed output of the report to the printed output of Adobe. Suppose i have 2 dbtext having this positions:
dbtext1 Left 1, Top 10 (in millimeters) dbtext2 Left 120, Top 20
If i print report via report builder designer, paper print is ok There are 119 (120 -1) millimeters between dbtext1 and dbtext2 in horiz. and 10 (20-10) millimeters between dbtext1 and dbtext2 in vertical.
This distances are not kept as i try to print via Adobe PDF output of Rbuilder. There's not only a shifting effect. Especially vertical distances change in an unexpected (for me) way. I'll try to implement an example..
When printing from Adobe, be sure you are not scaling the report to fit in the pagespace. There are numerous options in the Adobe print dialog and you want to be sure you are printing the raw document.

I will try to have a look at print dialog printing manually the pdf. I found out that this scaling depends also upon printer i'm printing the document so i suppose you are right when you mention at Adobe pagespace fitting...

I'm generating PDF via RBuilder then i 'shellexecute' with option
"print" the PDF so i'm not in the position to know if there's some Adobe
scaling. I will try to have a look at print dialog printing manually the
pdf.
I found out that this scaling depends also upon printer i'm printing the
document so i suppose you are right when you mention at Adobe pagespace
fitting...
