+Patterns
+Usually when printing regions filled with patterns you have to compensate for
+the printer high resolution or the pattern will come out very small. If you
+don't want to create a high resolution version of your pattern, then the
+simplest way is to use wdCanvasPattern to resize the pattern to
+an expected millimeter size. This will increase the pattern raster size so it
+will be more visible in the printer.
+But on some printers the result were not what we expect:
+
+ -
+ Laser printers automatically increase the real size of the pattern, so it
+ seems that wdCanvasPattern is not necessary on those
+ printers.
+ -
+ PDF and Postscript based printer drivers (like Adobe PDF Creator and CutePDF
+ Writer) need that the pattern has a width multiple of 8, if not they will
+ appear distorted with an increasing horizontal shift on every line. This
+ does NOT applies to the CD_PDF or CD_PS drivers.
