More or less like what is done here: http://1t3xt.be/?X00004a The positions of one field in file register_form2.pdf are grabbed and an image is added at those coordinates: registered2.pdf > Now this is where ImageMagick comes into play, I'm using > ImageMagick to generate images that will always be at 600px width (for > consistency of this post) at 72 DPI. Now, from what I've read there are 72 > points per inch, if I'm rendering the photo at 72 pixels per inch, then 1 > pixel should equal 1 point. (If I'm wrong about this, please let me know). It depends... What are we talking about? Measurements on the page, or resolution? If you draw a line with a length of 72 user units, you're drawing a line that measures an inch. The screen resolution is something else. Go to Edit > Preferences > Page Display and you'll see that you can choose between: Use system setting (in my case: 96 pixels/inch), or Custom resolution (in my case: 110 pixels/inch). I'm not sure if the resolution is relevant for your question, but maybe it is, because I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking. > Now I'm outputting the positions of the AcroFields and the positions don't > seem to match that well to pixels on the actual document. Can you please provide a small standalone example so that we can understand what is wrong? -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
