Form Designer: Measurements NOT in mm
Hello,

I need to recode the format for the Purchase Order and started looking at the Form Designer. After a few hours of banging my head on the table since the measurements in Form Designer don't match what gets printed, I started digging into the code. (BTW: Please update to the most current TCPDF 5.9.159 it supports more barcodes and fixes some barcode problems). And Found THIS:

At the top of the Form Designer page is this line:

All measurements are in millimetres.

they aren't the measurements are in POINTS (72dpi = 72pts per inch)

Here is where this comes from: PDFStarter.php

$pdf = new Cpdf($DocumentOrientation, 'pt', $DocumentPaper);

See the 'pt' ? that sets points.

The text on the Form Designer page needs to be updated.

Thank you,

Didn't mean to sound angry.
It was 1:30 in the morning and I was trying to keep my message short.

Thanks for all the hard work.
