Hi Gene,

Thanks, but I solved this issue a while ago, and posted the solution:

I was able to solve the ConceptHDL PDF printout problem we were having.  The
PDF file had the right and bottom side clipped.  We are printing a D size
page on a C size sheet...so it gets shrunk to fit...and what appeared to me
to be happening, is it was fitting it to page first, as in, overlaying the D
size on the C size, and clipping the graphics as described, then resizing it
to fit the page.  So, instead, I tried reducing in the Acrobat print driver,
using %75, and it works perfectly now.  If anyone isn't able to follow me
here, I can try to give a better explanation.

We are using the latest ISR on 15.2 with Acrobat 6.02.

Regards,

Austin
