When working with plugins such as AreaList Pro or PrintList Pro in 64-bit, you may notice that printing forms containing these areas will show up as blank on the printed form. In this case, this scenario is most likely caused by plugins require the GDI-based legacy printing layer enabled instead of the default D2D printing layer.

To address the issue, call SET PRINT OPTION(Legacy printing layer option;1) on startup or anywhere before a print job is initiated. Once enabled, the plugins will show up as expected.
