problem displaying some lines

Post by benradu »

Hi guys,
I just wonder if displaying thin lines problem is going to be fixed anytime soon (it is a known problem as far as I know).
I attach a zip containing a screenshot and sample pdf. It is an empty 5x3 table which looks different depending on the zoom level (especially below 100%) but looks OK at any zoom level in Acrobat.
Sample screenshot is taken at 100% zoom level.
Anyway, thank you for this nice piece of software!

Ben

I don't know what is going on with Table lines here. If I produce a PDF from OpenOffice with hairlines (0.05pt) then they display OK in PDF-XChange, though the top line looks thinner than the others at 200% zoom — they are all the same width when I zoom right in.

If I open the attached file in PagePlus X2, the lines are shown as 0.1pt, not 0.05 pt.

Your file is different. The top and bottom table lines disappear completely at 100% in PDF-XChange, but are an even width at 200%. If I open it in PagePlus, the first row lines don't disappear, but show as hairlines, while the other lines are thicker. PagePlus says that the lines are all 0.2pt.

Here is the response I received from Ivan on Jun 6 when I reported this problem:
Hi,

Thanks for your report. It is known problem with stroking adjusting and will be solved into one of the next build,

because build 18 is now in testing stage and this fix cannot be done now into this build.
Regards,
Ben

Yes, I know the fix was promised, but it still not done :cry:

For now we have not completeded the appropriate algorithm for stroke adjusting which will incorporate all requests - as soon as available we will advise.
