I reported a lot of problems just like yours to FileMaker. The
response was "we have a lot of problems in printing." That's it, no
investigation, no followup, no nothing. FileMaker support, in my
personal experience, is close to non-existant. And they wonder why
more companies don't feel they can rely on FileMaker solutions.
The problems I reported were interesting, in that it was the SCREEN
that was not displaying things correctly, not the print. I use
Windows. When I sent my FileMaker app to someone with a Mac, they saw
on the screen what I saw printed. Of course, though, I designed it for
the screen. That's probably why the zoom doesn't work for you. It
does. It's the full view that's wrong.
