[solved] pdf-Export

[TSG]

After updating to the new version 3.27.8 (under macOS 10.15.7) I have problems with the pdf export.

With 3.27.7 I can easily export a drawing that is e.g. drawn in DINA1 (see Paper_Space) as a pdf. The new pdf shows the entire DINA1 drawing.
This no longer works under 3.27.8. Only a DINA4-sized section from the original DINA1 drawing is shown in the pdf here.

The print function (printing to a pdf) is similar. Under 3.27.8, the entire drawing is only written to the pdf if DINA1 is selected in the printer driver, which not every printer can do.

Is the bug in front or behind the screen?

In the changelog I just found this:

FS#2401 - File > Print / PDF Export: Page size always A4

So the problem is already known.
I hope for a quick solution, e.g. in the form of a snapshot, because 3.27.8 is not usable for me due to this error.

I cannot reproduce this with QCAD 3.27.8. The known problem was for 3.27.7, fixed in 3.27.8.
Could you attach your drawing file or test this with the attached file a1.dxf?

I can load the file a1.dxf and export it to PDF or print to PDF which both results in an A1 PDF.

Also, can you please double-check your version?

My error description referred to 3.27.7.
With 3.27.8 everything is fine again.
Sorry and thanks for the hint.
