[SHARING] Document Composer/PDF Layout Tool question
Has anyone had great success in getting the Document Composer (in version 7.6.10 and above) to generate the exact positioning for their final PDF report?

I have 3 small reports that I would like to have co-exist on one PDF page, and after MUCH tinkering I have a reasonable output in Landscape. Now the user requested that the report be broken up and presented in Portrait.

Interestingly, the tool is quite simple to use, but has this documented caveat:

Note: The technology used in design time and run time is different. This may result in the run-time document not looking exactly the same as it does during design time.

I was just curious to know if anyone has used this tool extensively and had successful results so that we can share our combined experiences with the community and bounce ideas off of each other.
