[reportlab-users] pdf page shrinkage

[Linda Gao]

Hi 
 
Thank you,guys,
 
Here is the simple code I wrote.

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
c = canvas.Canvas("print.pdf", pagesize = letter)
c.line(inch,8*inch,8*inch,8*inch)
c.line(inch,7*inch,8*inch,7*inch)
c.showPage()
c.save()
 
this program is to create a pdf file in which I draw two lines and 
there is one inch between the lines,but it seems the distance between 
them is less than one inch when I measure it after printing out . Is there 
anyway to solve this problem?
 
Thanks
 
Linda

We all were at some point ;-) Welcome. I think we may need to see some code 
in order to get this figured out. Could you provide a relevent snippet?

Thanks,
