the quickPDF library is truncating each line of text to 80 characters wide.

I've tried to resize the font and print in landscape mode, but it still cuts off at 80 characters. My line of text is about 100 characters long.

How can I set the number of characters per line?

Hi there.

I have no idea about what are you talking. Can you be more precise in describing your problem. As example a code snippet will make it very clear for me.

Best regards, Marian

Let me try to explain better:

I have a string that is 100 characters long:

myString="1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890"

I'm drawing each line to the PDF using DrawText:

DrawText(10,10,myString)

The string is getting truncated to 80 characters, so in the PDF file it shows as:

12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

which is 20 characters shorter than the original string.

Why is my string getting truncated to 80 characters?

I need to be able to print a line that is more than 80 characters wide.

thanks

I figured it out, thanks.

I had the length of my asciiz string set to 80
