Printing Cards to PDF
Hi, I have a mobile App (iOS) that prints 2 template cards from a sub stack to a 2 page pdf file. This has worked flawlessly in LC5.5.3 but seems to fail in 6.6.2 (have tried a few variants of 6.6.2). When I say 'fail' I mean that the first card seems to print at half size (in top LH Quadrant) but the second card prints perfectly. (Happy to send someone the generated PDF). I'm thinking it may be something to do with the res independence stuff added in LC 6 but am not sure (Weird that card 2 prints correct when its the same size etc as card 1) I appreciate any ideas anyway code below. put (Print return Print2) into tCardsToPrint -- Lock screen so user doesn't see card change lock screen open stack Printing open printing to pdf tFilePath if the result is Cancel then exit saveInspection repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of tCardsToPrint print card (line x of tCardsToPrint) of stack Printing into 110,50,500,700 print break end repeat close printing close stack Printing send resetForm to me in 0 milliseconds send buildPendingTasks to this stack in 0 milliseconds COPYRIGHT / DISCLAIMER: This message and/or including attached files may contain confidential proprietary or privileged information.

Re: Printing Cards to PDF
FWIW I changed the loop to just print card 2 twice and am still seeing the error. It seems some sort of automatic scaling is happening after the first print or perhaps after the first print break...

Re: Printing Cards to PDF
H card 2 has some images. Think this is where the issue lies. If I print card 1 twice (which has no images) it works as expected...

Re: Printing Cards to PDF
Nakia, I tried your script on cards with and without images, I didn't experience any problems at all. Tested with LC 6.6.2 on Mac using OS X 10.8.5 and on Win 7 I can send you my test stack if it's any use.
