I was just testing these functions:

GetCanvasDCEx( ... ) ,

LoadFromCanvasDC( ... ),

NewPageFromCanvasDC( ... )

Works very well. This is very powerful stuff. The only problem I can find with this is that the text gets distorted when MM_ANISOTROPIC is the mode, and the X and Y scaling are very different.

When X and Y scaling are equal I get this type of text:

Hello There

When X and Y scaling are very different I get this type of text:

H e l l o T h e r e

Unfortunately all of my company's code uses ANISOTROPIC scaling. I am using Vector Graphics mode. I could try to print to a HBitmap, then stretch the hbitmap, and store it in the PDF, but I'd rather keep the Vector Graphics aspect.

Anyone have an idea for a solution?

This only seems to affect the Text Objects. Is there a function which will let me iterate through each text object and apply a transform? (post-processing).

Thanks in advance.
