Hi All,

I use print to pdf to export a story illustrated. It works well except an empty space before the first page.
I guess I dont understand a stuff.

Code: Select all

   set the printmargins to "18,18,18,18" 
   set the printPaperOrientation to "landscape"
   set the printRowsFirst to "true"
   set the printCardBorders to "false"
   set the printGutters to "18,18"
   set the printScale to 0.8

Is there someone who can light me ?

Thanks
Jean-Marc

If the content you are printing is longer than what will fit on the page, LC will push it down to page 2. Try a smaller printscale, or a top printmargin of 0.

Remember that the printer has its own printable area, and there is usually about half an inch at the top where the printer cannot lay ink. The printer's top margin is added to the printmargin you specify, so a top margin of 18 points is really like 3/4 inch.

Hi Jacques,
Thanks again for your help
I thought that was something wrong with PrintTitle
The problem happens only on the first page.
I have to verify my export scripts

Best
