Problem with missing text when saving as a PDF

When trying to save my diagram as a PDF I am losing the bottom line of text from some of the boxes!

The tree is set up in a horizontal format and I want to have the boxes the 'same width' in each column (as it looks neater), but once it is saved as a PDF the bottom line is ommitted from some boxes (ie birth ok, but date of death disappeared). This is not a problem when leaving the boxes to appear as random sizes, all text appears on the saved PDF as it should, but the look of the page isn't very pleasing.

I'd be very grateful to hear from anyone who can help or has had a similar problem, as it's driving me nuts!

Cheers

Try setting the printer (File>Printer Setup) to the Family Historian PDF printer, while you are working on the diagram, and see if that sorts the box heights.

Jane you are a genius! I set the printer to FH just before I executed the boxes to 'all the same size' and it worked. If you set printer to FH after re-shaping boxes, it doesn't work, which is what I must have been doing.

Many thanks
