Fellow monks,

Vroom was kind enough to point me to PDF::Labels and PDF::Create to print labels on to standard Avery mailing labels, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the module and am in need of assistance.

My probelm is that I'm getting label creep. The first 3 rows print perfectly, then they start creeping upwards a bit until the last row of labels is starting to print on the row prior.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this with the module and what you changed to get it to work. I've tried adjusting the settings, but it doesn't seem to do any good.

At this point I've re-downloaded the module to put the changes I want to try in to the source before I install it again.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Some people fall from grace. I prefer a running start...
