I am working with the creation of a pdf document (an insurance policy). We “stitch together” a number of single pages pdfs and use the following to fill them
call pdf.SetFont "Helvetica", pdf.ksfNone, In_Font_Size,true, pdf.kcp1252
call pdf.SetFillColor &h000000
call pdf.SetTextRect horizontal_tab,vertical_tab,in_width,in_height
call pdf.WriteFText pdf.ktaJustify, in_text
Here is the odd behavior. I can write text on almost any PDF. Except for ones that are created on my Mac (with any application). I can take any pdf from the wed and rename it to “target.pdf” and the Text rectangles appear. But If I use one created on any one of my 4 macs (yes I have tried them all ) they are blank.
Both the 'base" pdfs and the results are here
What does the mac do to create a pdf that differs from the norm?
