[RBG7-L] - RE: Problems printing to PDF

[Sami Aaron]

David -   I don't know if this is related to your problem, but ...   The PDF creator in the current release of R:BASE does not embed fonts in the same way the Acrobat Distiller would do, so if you are using a font that is only installed on your computer, and you create a PDF document and send it to someone else who does not have the same font installed, you may get some strange font results.  This feature is scheduled to be included in release 7.5.   Is there anything special about the reports you are creating that might require special embedding?  I know I've been the recipient of some of your PDF files that I couldn't open...   Sami   ------------------------------------------ Sami Aaron Software Management Specialists 19312 W 63rd Terr Shawnee KS  66218 913-915-1971 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.softwaremgmt.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of David M.
