Limitations

Besides others, the following hints and limitations should be considered:

•      Fonts are automatically recognized and dynamically embedded if necessary.

•      Not all EMF records can be displayed accurately – if you are using complex EMFs, you should pass them as bitmaps or choose "export as picture" in the designer.

•      Lines/Frames that are dashed/dotted in the layout may have a different spacing. In addition, each dash/dot is displayed as a single PDF record. To keep the resulting file size small, continuous lines/frames should be used for PDF export or the option "PDF.UseSimpleFrames" should be enabled.

•      Note on PDF/A:

•      When using form elements in combination with PDF/A, PDF/A conformity cannot be maintained, and the form elements are deactivated.

•      All fonts are always embedded.

•      Encryption is not supported.

•      When using symbol fonts in combination with PDF/A-3u, PDF/A conformity may not be maintained, as there may not be a corresponding Unicode character for them.

•      Note that not all outputs can be converted 1:1 in the respective target format. Especially with more complex coordinate system transformations, partial transparencies and especially also with elements like EMFs, which are not generated by List & Label, wrong representations may occur. Here it may be necessary to export the respective elements as raster graphics or to activate the "Export as Picture" property for the respective object.

•      For the "Checkbox" form element, the display of the "Set" state has no effect, the default (usually simple checkmark) of the PDF display program used is always used.

•      Notes on PDF/UA:

•      PDF version 1.7/2.0

•      Requires dynamic data feeding.

•      The Image, LLX, Ellipse, Line, and Rectangle objects are "Figures" if they have alt text; otherwise, they are "Artifacts".

•      Object or cell borders are "Artifacts".

•      Tables of contents and indexes are, by definition, standard tables.

•      Input objects are not supported.
