This may be the same issue that folks had with Flare 10/Win 7 and that I have with Flare 12/Win10, if the display on the system where you house your Flare project is not scaled to Flare's version of 100%: http://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2016r2/Content/Troubleshooting/TS_PDF_Output.htm?Highlight=...

Anyone tried Flare 2016 r2 with Win10 on systems where the display defaults to more than 100%? Display scaling helps but not sufficiently with Flare 11 and 12...

We have a separate build machine that only runs Flare using madbuild, and our build are scheduled on there rather on our local machines. Therefore we don't have to worry if our own locally generated PDFs aren't quite how they should be, and we don't have the worry that any other work we are in the ...

I found the output was sometimes a bit dodgy even in Flare 11 if the display wasn't set correctly, so don't rely on Flare 11 for what you want to do. Depending on how often you generate outputs, would it be an acceptable workaround to change your display settings each time? Or is that just a stupid...

Tried resetting the display to 100% (Win10, Flare12) before building a PDF as described in this thread, and, yes, that works. I'm actually sad to have to report that, as it seems to mean there's no way I'm ever going to be able to use Flare12 for automating publication updates. Probably not the only...

No help here, just a fellow sufferer! I have Flare v. 10, 11, and 12 on one Win10 machine for testing purposes. Switching from 10 to 11 (same project) reduces the size of a single PDF with no loss of readability (260 to 240 pp). Built the project in 11 to make sure everything still worked, then in 1...

I get random occurrences of a PDF failing with the error that the target is in use by other processes. Running Flare 11 on Windows 7. I also have Creative Cloud which seems to be somewhat invasive. Yep, here too. Flare 11, Creative Cloud, Win10. Turn off all the Adobe stuff via the Task Manager to ...

Welcome to Flare! The propellers must be spinning elsewhere right now, but no doubt you'll get a few detailed responses soon. For now: yes, you really can use Flare with little or no training. If you have some time, check out the "How Did You Do That?" tutorials in Flare's Help. Otherwise,...

Another vote for conditions here. Readability won't be an issue for anyone except you and whoever else in your small shop working directly in Flare. As far as the colors go, you can change a condition's background color from the tag window, and though I imagine red-green colorblind limits your choic...

I see this message every single time I attempt to import a document created or last edited in Open Office Writer (yes, I do have the Import without MS Installed option checked). Most of my systems are Windows 7, OO 4.x, no M$ Office. Doesn't seem to matter whether I'm working with .doc or .rtf forma...
