We have customers who use a product called Softdocs.
What it does is:
The PB app or InfoMaker prints a report to the Softdocs printer driver.
The Softdocs printer driver forwards the data to a physical printer of your choice.
The Softdocs printer driver prints the data using the Microsoft Generic Text Only driver.
The Softdocs printer driver reads the text file and loads it into the Softdocs system for indexing and other processing.
We have noticed that if columns aren't exactly aligned horizontally, the output from the text printer will put the out of alignment columns on a different line in the text file.
I'm wondering if anyone has a similar experience and if there is anything that can be done other than going through all the reports and making sure everything is aligned.
