Thanks for help.
Yes, problem with reading comes form a poor quality of an image printout.
Larger font helps but I cannot go higher font size. That's why I thought to get pages rotated and printed without image conversion first.

Probably same can be done with FFC GDI+ supplied with VFP9. Though I'm not sure if GdipRotateMatrix and/or GdipRotateWorldTransform GDI+ declarations are included in FFC code.

>As for your other question, may be the barcode image is distorted somehow during the printing. And that prevents it from having been recognized by scanner. May be check visually whether PDF and bitmap images are different in any way.
