Hi all

I have a report based on a .pdf background which when previewed displays everything perfectly, however when I print the report from the standard preview menu or output to Word and then print, the first part of the background of the form is not printed, and the balance of the background of the form prints perfectly.

If however I select the output to Adobe.pdf format and print the report, it prints all the background perfectly???

Completely confused after trying all sorts of combinations I can only conclude that it is perhaps a Windev or Word issue , anyone have any idea at all

Thanks in advance

Is it possible that portion of the form is outside the physical print limits of the printer? Also on the setup of the report for the background there is a checkbox to ignore the physical limits of the printer, does that make any difference?

Hi Pete

Thanks I have tried checking the "Ignore physical limits of the printer" check box and it doesn't appear to make a difference. I don't think its a physical printer limitation because if I print a field over the area it prints perfectly.

It only seems to lose the first part of the background image of the form - bizarre.

Thanks

Dave
