[WIN7] Change "Display" text sizes WITHOUT logging off??

chargin · 14th December 2009, 11:45 AM

I have an invoicing program that creates PDFs. With my Display set to 125% in Win7 these PDFs get cutoff along the right hand side and only half of the content of that PDF is visible.
Link to change display size
I have to change the display setting to 100% and then the PDFs get created fine.

This is a huge pain, I have many programs open at once and closing them all to send an invoice, which happens daily is really annoying.

Is there any way possible to change this setting without the log off part?

Maybe something could be done to the PDF creation engine whatever it is?

Exact same problem here, happened when I had my HDMI cable attached to the videocard (made the TV the default screen) while installing.

Still havnt found a solution....

* Try a different PDF creation program.

* Run PDF creation on a server/seperate PC via watched network-drive with output folder on network-drive.

* Use a monitor more suited for your eyesight.

* Run a virtual machine on your local PC for invoicing purposes only.

* Use a different OS.

Actually... Different problem, this happens on windows itself

if you dont need to close the programs, you can use aero shake.
tag the invoice program and shake the mouse then the programs go in min mode.

I would send a request to Microsoft and the pdf program makers about that issue.
