Differences in preview and PDF

Postby elcsoft » Thu Sep 18, 2008 3:25 pm

I have a problem with the PDF export.
The Preview Window is different than in the PDF Document.
I have a barcode embedded. This Barcode is sent to the PDF document 5 mm more down. The rest is at the right place.

I need this, because VPE ist not printing properly with the ZEBRA Label printer S4M. I tried alreadey 3 different printer drivers.
(Nicelabel.com, Seagullscientific.com and the native zebra driver)
Nicelabel EPL is the best. But the label is printed 1 cm to much to the left.

From our customer database you are using VPE Standard Edition. This edition is not capable of generating barcodes. Therefore I assume you are using barcode fonts.

In order to analyze whether the barcode font you are using is not compliant to the standard, or if there is a problem in VPE, please contact our technical support by e-mail.

We recommend to use VPE Enhanced Edition or higher for printing barcodes. It does not use fonts, but computes and draws the barcodes itself, using a very sophisticated library.
