Alex, I am not talking about tweaking text to exactly match. I know that is pretty much trial and error.
What I am talking about can be seen in the following two links from my original email. Ignore the text and just look at the backgrounds. In the second link you can see the two diamond graphics are perfectly circular, as they should be. They are on the static pdf. Now, look at the first link. See how the parts of the diamond graphics inside the frame are offset from the parts outside the frame? This is a screengrab with preview turned on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lancewente/2646199075/ This shows the above file when output: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lancewente/2647028840/ So, if what renders inside the text frame with preview is not accurate to what is actually underneath it, then using preview for lining up elements is useless.
