I know this topic has been covered previously, probably many many times, but my search skills are failing me.

We have a "printing stack" in our app that, among other things, provides a "Print Preview" view. This takes the printer margins, page size, orientation, etc and creates a stack with the dimensions of the page and some guidelines showing the margins, headers, footers, and so on. A rectangle "PrintArea", is set to the available print area inside the margins. Whatever is being printed is then placed inside this "PrintArea". So if the contents of a field is being printed a field is sized fit inside the "PrintArea" and bottom of the field is adjusted by the pageHeights. If am image is being printed, the image is scaled to fit inside the "PrintArea" and so on.

All well and good, except for images. If I size and image to fit ON THE SCREEN within the "PrintArea" and then I print it (to a Printer OR to PDF, the image appear are roughly 1/4 size. I assume this is the 72/75 dpi screen resolutions being put on a 300 dpi PDF or printer?

Is there some easy Livecode trick to just get images to print in a PDF or on paper at the same size as seen on the screen?

Thank you in advance!
