All I need to do is output to pdf, which LiveCode already does--it just makes bloated and inefficient files. If I wanted to instead generate output Quartum's way, I'd lose the placement advantages I have from using LiveCode. And having looked at the example code, I really think I'd be better writing my own postscript functions that do exactly what I want (postscript isn't hard to write; it's really just forth.) Here's an older sample output pdf: http://dochawkbk.com/output.cd.jrlien_multiexempt.pdf It's cleaner now, but this one is on the web already. I already account for the height of the boxes on Schedules C&D (the last two pages of the pdf). -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
