Tom, Manuel - thanks for your replies as you say Manuel it does appear to be related to the screen resolution. I must have been mistaken about this having being discussed on the list previously. However should I have any good ideas I will let you know. I do have a routine in Delphi which I use to capture the active portion of the screen to the clipboard and then save it to a jpg, so maybe if I was able I could try to convert this to a plugin. However maybe someone already has such a facility ?
Thank you.

I have a button on the form they can then print the screen, make notes and fax it to me for evaluation and correction. I also have the same issue with partial screen printing. The problem is hardware related and it does not behave the same way on every users workstation. I suspect it is related to the screen resolution of the monitor. It appears to be more noticeable in workstations with screen resolutions higher than 1024x768 and those that have special wide screen drivers. Unfortunately, I have not had enough time to look into it in details. For a quick screen print to report problem the print screen image has been acceptable. Please share anything you discover that will alleviate this problem.

It would be appreciated if anyone could advise what I need to do to achieve this, or where I should be looking for help on this topic preferably to allow one to print to a pdf and also how one scales the screen to ensure the complete screen is printed. Thank you. Regards, John Docherty
