To demonstrate PDF shows fewer memo lines than on original

When a form showing a scrollable memo field containing more lines than the
field can display is exported as a PDF file with "Create PDF form" checked, the
field on the resultant PDF file shows a scrollable field containing fewer
visible lines than in the field on the database form, though the hidden lines
may be viewed by scrolling. I suspect a font problem in that the font used in
the PDF file is different from (and slightly larger than) the default font used
in the database form field.

To demonstrate :-
1.      Open the attached "Test7 - Memo.odb" database file.
2.      Open form "Form1" - this will display a form containing a field of type
memo containing 10 lines, of which the first 7 lines are visible, with a
scrollbar allowing the remaining 3 lines to be viewed.
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
"Create PDF Form" and "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 the scrollable field on the PDF file displays 5 visible
lines, not 7, and they appear to be preceded by a blank half-line. Using the
scrollbar, it is possible to view the remaining 5 lines, and they appear to be
followed by a blank half-line.
