If your viewer displays the file correctly, then the data in it is
formatted correctly. The problem may be with your viewer. Have you
tried others? There are a number of free open-source PDF viewers

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your

Eliminate software piracy: use only FLOSS.
