I need a Mac user's assistance, please

Submitted by ygor on Wed, 2007-09-05 15:56.

I am trying to submit a bug reprt to Apple about the PDF problems, but I am at work on a PeeCee and need a Mac generated PDF to include.

Would a Mac user please contact me directly with the "Contact" tab. I need a small PDF (just a few months worth) that makes Adobe Reader complain.

Thanks.

Got what I need, but I want to ask...

Are you Mac folks having issues with PDF files created with my apps ?

Adobe Acrobat Reader will not display them, complaining about embedded fonts. Preview displays shorter files OK, but starts to complain when the size goes up.

I have a bug report into Apple about this because I can make PDF files by other means that do not cause the same problems.

Not just my app, neither...

I tried making that PDF for Sara from the Numbers file and had all sorts of font problems.

.... in your own setup?

I have made pdfs from the Numbers file, and it was fine. Also from your app.... not so fine, but worked ok.

Now, as to why not so fine--well, one of the two "sides" of the page (I believe the side of the month with the month name) always prints a box around the page--or at least tries to. I get the box around 3 sides. I can send you a pdf to show you what it looks like--but somehow, I doubt it's linked to the problem you are having.

P.S. Sorry I didn't see this earlier. My Mac's been compiling KDE all day (actually--all week! but today, it brought my Mac to a crawl, so I quit everything but the terminal--hence, no web and email)

There seems to be two issues: Fonts and some sort of array index thingie.

I'm submitting bug reports to both Apple and Qt
