I am getting different results using "open printing to pdf" vs standard printing to a printer. I have a card with a single field on it with some formatted text in it. If I print the card to a printer using "open printing with dialog" it all looks perfect (even if I choose to save it to PDF in the print dialog). But, if I use the "open printing to pdf" method, it get wrong fonts and inconsistent tab spacings. Here is the EXACT code I am using:
on mouseUp currSName
put (the hilite of btn "printAsPDF" of stack "ReportOptions") into printAsPDF
if printAsPDF then
ask file "Save As PDF:" with (currSName & ".pdf")
put it into pdfPath
open printing to pdf pdfPath
else
open printing with dialog
end if
if the result is "Cancel" then
exit mouseUp
end if
print card 1 of stack "GB_PReport"
close printing
end mouseUp
Here are examples of the printouts (the PDFs):

Any thoughts or ideas?
