In need of help with PDF::Labels

[Popcorn Dave]

Fellow monks,

Vroom was kind enough to point me to PDF::Labels and PDF::Create to print labels on to standard Avery mailing labels, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the module and am in need of assistance.

My probelm is that I'm getting label creep. The first 3 rows print perfectly, then they start creeping upwards a bit until the last row of labels is starting to print on the row prior.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this with the module and what you changed to get it to work. I've tried adjusting the settings, but it doesn't seem to do any good.

At this point I've re-downloaded the module to put the changes I want to try in to the source before I install it again.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Some people fall from grace. I prefer a running start...

If I were you, I'd start by printing out the parameters for the label type you're using. It looks as though some measurement may be off by a tiny bit. The data are in     @PDF::Labels:PageFormats. Then I'd check the measurements (multiplying small ones by the number of labels across or down the page so any possible mistakes could be more easily discovered). You might also want to ensure that you are printing USLetter labels on USLetter forms or A4 on A4. You might also be able to verify the data if you have a copy of MSWord, MSPublisher, WordPerfect or some other package that knows labels.

HTH, --traveler

Update to original post

Again, thanks to Vroom, the problem has been solved.

It turns out that Adobe's reader was the problem. By turning off the "fit to page" option, the problem was solved.
