Hi Alan

Yes, I have come across that problem but I'm afraid I can't remember whether
we fixed it and, if so, how.  I do remember that under certain conditions,
the behaviour you describe does occur.  Sorry I can't be of more help.

Subject: Report to Microsoft PDF Printer creates text as images.

We have a customer who when printing a particular report from a Visual
Foxpro application sometimes selects the Microsoft PDF Printer (installed
with MS Office). This then prompts for a PDF file to save the report output
to. They then open the PDF in Acrobat Reader or whatever and need to select
and copy some text from it.

The problem is that sometimes the PDF is rendered as an image so no
individual elements are selectable in Acrobat Reader. All fonts on the
layout are standard Arial. There are no settings on the PDF printer to
adjust and nothing on the VFP side that I can see would affect it.

Replicating this process with the report layouts in question on my PC works
fine.

Has anyone ever come across this ?
