I want to make software to generate a printed newsletter. First I did the page layout in HTML so I could use revBrowserPrint to print it. But to my amazement it didn't fill the whole A4 sheet. The layout was scaled down to 16 cm wide (instead of 21). So I did the math and scaled up the entire layout by 132%. I tried again: still 16 cm wide.
I thought it might be a revBrowserPrint problem, so I printed a stack instead. What was supposed to be the top left corner was printed on a distance of 25,4 mm from the top and from the left of the paper (1 inch). I finally understood the weird scaling. Apparently every print from LC needs a margin of an inch, because 21 cm minus 2 inches is around 16 cm. I hope I'm wrong on this; I hope this can be adjusted and I like to know how. In my opinion, this margin is so wide that it looks quite silly. I understand that printers cannot use the outermost edges, but that should be around 4 mm, or 1 cm at most. Not an inch! How can I teach LC some sanity here? I would be fine with a margin of 1 cm on each side. Kind regards, Terry _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
