Hi Douglas,

You could open up the PDF document raw and inspect the FONTMETRICS information to determine the problem with the Font Size. You then need to search for the following type PDF command: Also, make sure you don't have the document set to compress when building the document or this will be really hard to find. <g>

/F0 11 Tf

/F0 6 Tf

This tells the PDF reader to find FONT TABLE 0 and set the POINT SIZE to 11 or 6. So, if it looks like 6 point font then there would be a 6 rather than an 11. Somewhere in the code the FONT SIZE must not be getting set correctly before it is generated in the document.


Have you also tried this same report with my Report Engine to see how it is handling it?



I am evaluating the XFRX utility to convert our VFP reports to PDF. So far, things look good and their support has answered my questions promptly. I do have one issue...and since I want to try and resolve this quickly...I thought that I'd toss this out to anyone that might be using XFRX.

The PDF that is generated has a much smaller font size than the VFP report that it was created from. The VFP report uses Times New Roman 11 font and it looks like the PDF has about a 6 point font. Too tiny and tough to read. I added the call to the method to embed all characters and fonts used and the output is still the same.

Is there any way to get the font size to match what is being used for the VFP report?

thanks.
...douglas
