    Any of you have tips on how to format the output of your forms for printing? I have a form running but when people print it I need it to consistantly look the same, despite resolution, operating system, browser, etc.

    You could try formatting your output with HTML TABLEs. You could use fixed column widths (and heights if desired) to create a consistent appearance.

    As far as I know fixed table sizes will still get printed out to the resolution our users are on (at least with our printer drivers)

    Erm :\

    How about PDF files? I've heard using Acrobat or something you can make ones that would print out looking exactly how I want it even on a Mac. But can you pass form data to a PDF?
