Re: Weirdness with PDF conversion application.

That's a good idea, but it's not just PDF printing (PDF is just an easy
way to share the test results, easier than scanning printed output).
Printing to regular old (i.e. PCL LaserJet 4si) printers does this too.
I don't know how much PS is used in Abi's win printing module, it might
be something to look into. Do you have any more information on this
problem?
