Rosemary,

What operating system, printer driver and printer instance are
involved? What physical printer are you actually printing to? Is this
happening with Type 1 or TT fonts (which ones)? The character dropouts
sound like you're using an older printer driver.

With FM 5.5.6, using the Save As PDF option is not recommended. You
must be using the Distiller printer to create postscript output for
distilling into PDFs using the Distiller program. See the FAQ section
of this Forum for more details on this.

For better on-screen viewing in FM, in the FM maker.ini, check the
setting of your DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics option. This should be set
to "On" (FM sets this to "Off" by default).

When you have created a proper PDF, then in Acrobat turn on the
background grid (View > Grid or ctrl + u) to see how the edges align.
If the justification looks ok here, then it's most likely the printer
driver that you were using for the hardcopy output.
