problems printing to pdf

Hello.
When I export a layout configured in A3 landscape to PDF, the PDF it creates is in A4 portrait.
And when I use publish with the pdf option, although plot size appears as A3 horizontal. The pdf comes out as A4 vertical by cutting the drawing. How can I fix it?

  • Kentral,

    I think using "plot" command and selecting "print as pdf.pc3" option in the plotting screen is better than "export pdf" command. My problem with plotting is sometimes the attributes (not all, maybe 5%) got lost. Anyone has this issue? Thanks!

    Have a look at this lisp code its for a A1 but plotting as a A3, its part of a "Plot range of layouts" program we have used for years.

    (setvar "textfill" 1)
    (setvar "fillmode" 1)
    (setvar "PLOTTRANSPARENCYOVERRIDE" 2)
    (COMMAND "-PLOT" "Y" "" "Print As PDF"
    "A3" "m" "LANDSCAPE" "N" "W" "-6,-6" "807,560" "1=2" "C"
    "y" "Default.ctb" "Y" "n" "n" "n" pdfName "N" "y"
    )
