sapscript page windows upper margin tiny adjustment not reflecting

lcs00 — Wed, 17 May 2023 00:17:41 GMT

hi guys, originally i have a sapscript with only one Main page window but there is a requirement to move some of the texts' vertical positioning by tiny scale like 1mm.

so what i did was move those particular texts to new individual page windows and adjust the upper margin of those page windows.

However, tiny upper margin adjustment like 1-5mm are not reflecting in the print preview. The page window will instead go into a whole 'newline' after adding up to a certain mm value. The result is like either 'no change' OR 'a newline' and there is no in between.

I also tried to space those texts in Main window itself using a blank custom paragraph format but it is also not working.

Is this the normal behavior of Sapscript? How can i achieve my requirements above?

Have you tried using the paragraph format with the 'space before' value?

If you moved the texts to new secondary windows, then you should be able to position these windows on the page where you require. Did you activate the SAPscript form after making the changes and before creating a new print/print preview? Otherwise the oldactive fomr will still be used by the application that creates the spools/prints.

Be careful, the OTF print preview is not very precise. I have the same issue with Smart Forms, hopefully I can use PDF! in the command field of the OTF print preview to see the PDF where I can see the exact changes. But it's only for Smart Forms.

For SAPScript forms, you should be able to print to a PDF printer and view the exact changes (in my SAP system, there's a G frontend printer that I can choose, I print to the printer "Microsoft Print to PDF" and it generates a PDF file on my laptop which I can view).
