I have had several reports that I have struggled with due to my crystal report having to print certain lines of text on exact locations on preprinted paper forms.  It seems like its a guessing game to align the text on the area of the preprinted area when its time to run my report over my .net plaform applications. It seems that once html is involved it throws around the text a bit once I try to run the report from my .net application. How can you set text within Crystal to print on that exact line without being adjusted. Not sure if its a Crystal Issue or a HTML issue. I hope I'm clear on the issue.
Thanks

Using HTML is not an exact science due to browser rendering differences. I've exported to PDF and then display the PDF in the browser for printing. This gives me more precise printing placement.
