    CutePDF Writer

    I have an application that prints leases. When I print it to the printer everything prints out fine.

    When I print to a PDF file using CutePDF writer, there are horizontal lines on the page. Is there some setting to it which prevents these lines from getting printed?

    Wondering whats causing that to happen?

    Do other documents print out correctly? I use CutePDF and have no trouble with the PDF being exactly like the printed output.

    David,
    I have printed maps from the browser so far with CUTEPDF and there were no issues. Its just my VB app, that is giving these weird horizontal lines all over. At present, I am trying to understand what are the control characters being passed by the application. I wonder what are the settings in CUTEPDF which can be controlled.

    Cheers,
    Abhijit

    I have never had that problem with abijit. I take it that you are printing via a data report? I know that your computer treats CutePDF as an actual printer (ie: it thinks it's printing, so it prints everything that's visible). I just made a test report, and printed with CutePDF and no wierd lines.
    Code:
    If LostAngel.Tag = "Programming" then
   LostAngel.Caption = "Awake"
Else
   LostAngel.Caption = "Dreaming of Code"
End If

    no we do not use a data report to print out. our application is mostly legacy vb, started off in vb4.0 (32 bit) then moved over to Vb5.0 which is where it has stayed since 1998. it uses a lot of third-party controls. some of these third-party active-x control developers might be out of business.

    For this specific printing we use a videosoft vsview.vsprinter control. Our printing has never been affected till date. We changed over from Dot Matrix to Laser printers, but everything is fine. However now we have this issue with CutePDF generated files.
