@jackie_w, thanks a million

A setting of 0.3 worked well on a couple of my recalcitrant PDF's that I'd been pushing down my work basket for weeks.

For no good reason I first wound it up from .45 to .6 and then .7. When that didn't work I wound it back to .3 and it worked a treat.

The tool tip (shown below) doesn't mean much to me, maybe someone could explain. Being an engineer I like to know why & if possible how things work, in this instance I haven't a clue.

Good luck Josieb1 and thanks for asking the question.
