Boxes not recognised when banding
I'm trying to band a form which I made with limesurvey. Unfortunately I can't use the XML banding form from limesurvey, because I edited the pdf using Acrobat to get it down from 8 pages to 4. When I draw a box over my multiple choice selections, the box just fills with green lines. When I do the same for a large free text area, it fills with vertical green lines - it's as if the banding is seeing it as hundreds of small boxes.
I'm using an industrial scanner so to band I just did an output to a pdf of 300dpi in monochrome, so it's not actually a re-scanned form but the banding is so far out that this surely can't be the cause.
Alternatively, I'm happy to edit my limesurvey banding xml file with what I assume are pixel coordinates, can you explain how tlx5 tly6 brx7 bry8 describes a page and location on that page?
Any help much appreciated - I've spent 3 days getting to grips with this because my university just has an old OMR scanner and I desperately want to show how surveys can be more ambitious!
Thank you
Mark
