Hello,

I am having a small problem with a program I wrote. Right now I am
generating a PDF file and am matching it to a specific form, this
process although time consuming seems to be working properly in house.
However, when this web based program is running on another computer
the PDF will generate the exact same way but when it goes to print it,
it comes out all wrong. It's as if the margin settings for the version
that works is 1/2 in, and 0 for the printer it doesn't work on.

I was wondering if there was anyway to change the margins
programatically so that I can adjust the margins on the PDF.

Or does anyone have any suggestinos as to how to fix this issue?

Thanks.

How are you creating the PDF? I'm assuming you are using a third party
control to do this? If so you should take a good long look at there
documentation to see if they provide the functionality to do so. You
might also try the vendor's website, it's common practice to have a
moderated forum for product support. Posting there would/should give
you better responses.

yeah I went through the API for the Document level JavaScript, and the
API for the controls from the vendor, and talked to the third party
vendor and there is no support for controlling the printable margins.

I'm looking for another solution possibly using vb.net to accomplish
this because there is no support for it in the PDF itself.

Something I am thinking about was if it's even possible to look
through the available printers and get there settings and possibly
changing margins on the PDF if that would even work or not I am not
sure.

This is my first time ever dealing with printing, and this problem is
going over my head.

Thanks.
