Re: [Bug 3208] New: Blocks aligned incorrectly in PDF
Hello Steve, Hello Foppers
I had the the same problem too and I have developed some test cases where I
could test the problem mentioned here under 2). I have attached the diff (and
the test cases) which should resolves the problem. I not a commiter so it
would be grateful if someone merges the code.
regarding the first problem: are you printing under windows with acrobat
reader 4.0 and up? Try printing on a different printer. I have similar
problems with WinNT and Acrobat Reader 4 an 5 when I am printing to a HP
LaserJet 4M+.
As a "special effect": If the same file is printed via a DDE connection the
resulting page is scaled in height to about 80 to 90 percent - it depents on
the printer I am using ;-) This might be a problem within PDFDocument

fyi
The tests I ran (different from Steve's, reported earlier here, showing
6-7% shrinkage) are on an HP DeskJet 1175 cse.
