Database file to demonstrate scrollable memo field problem

When a form showing a scrollable memo field containing more lines than the
field can display is exported as a PDF file without "Create PDF form" checked,
the field on the resultant PDF file shows a field containing the lines that
were visible in the field on the database form, but may also show the hidden
lines below the field. Whether or not the hidden lines are shown appears to
depend on how many characters the memo field contains.

To demonstrate :-
1.      Open the attached "Test6 - Memo.odb" database file.
2.      Open form "Form1" - this will display a form containing three fields of
type memo each containing 10 lines, of which the first 7 lines are visible,
with a scrollbar allowing the remaining 3 lines to be viewed, but containing
different numbers of characters.
3.      From the menu bar, select "File", then "Export as PDF..."
4.      On the right hand side of the resultant "PDF Options" panel, check only
"View PDF after export", then select "Export"
5.      Save the resultant PDF file to a convenient place - it will then be
automatically displayed.
6.      Observe that, below two of the three fields on the PDF file, the lines
that were hidden on the original form are shown. It may be relevant that the
correct field originally contained more characters than the two incorrect
fields.
