WHen printing manual pages from Helpviewer it tends to regularly cut lines
in half. I.E. The last text line on a page only shows the top half of the
letters. The bottom half of the letter appear on the next page.
Of course it does the same thing if the object on the last line isn’t text.
I.E. a graphic image
Would it be possible to add a conditional that says something like,
if the next object doesn’t fit on the page and there’s less than 1 inch
remaining on the page, justskip to the next page.
This is similar to a conditional break in a word processing document.
Only the tag wouldn’t have to be “in” the document.
This would save all text and some graphical objects as well. And by
making it a conditional in a dialog box, even if there’s 8 inches
available and you want to print an 8.5 inch object you have the choice to
skip to the next page.
Hi Bill,
Can you give me an example of a document in Helpviewer that does this? so
that I can reproduce it here. Which type of printer are you trying to send
the file to? Do you see the same thing if you preview the document instead
of sending it to the printer?
Regards
Brenda

Hi Brenda
Yes. I tried printing the second helpviewer page from the System Architecture
manual. Yes the problem also shows up in preview.
It is most obvious when looking at the graphic between printed pages 4
and 5. However you can also see it when looking at the heading line:
“Why POSIX for Embedded Systems?” between printed pages 1 and 2.
The tops of the letters appear on the bottom of page 1 and most of the
letters appear on the top of page two.
My printer is a HP Laserjet 4100N. The same thing happens in PCL and
Postscript mode. And as I said, it also happens when previewing the .phs
page with preview.
I have uploaded a copy of the phs file to my QUICS account, ‘bcaroselli’.
It is print1.phs.

I have a new problem with printing from helpviewer.
It hangs.
I can print from other programs, just not from helpviewer.
When I try to print from helpviewer it never finishes. This happens even
if I try to just write out a PHS file. It also happens if I just try to
preview a page. I assume it’s the same issue.
This used to work. I’m at a loss to determin what broke.
If I do:
pidin | grep READY
fontslueth always seems to be ready.
What else can I check?
