PDF problem
Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2017 8:27 pm
I have a small problem printing to PDF.
My drawings are A3 Landscape. My A3 size in Page Setup is set to Width 297 x Height 420 (margins all zero).
To set it to landscape I normally select the Landscape icon and set the drawings size to Width *1, Height *1 (so the drawing is quite correctly 420 x 297). So far so good!
But when I come to use the Print function to make a PDF it won't recognize that the page has been turned to Landscape and creates two Portrait pages.
I can fix it by creating a new A3 in Page Setup set to Width 420 x Height 297 and then selecting the Portrait icon. I then get a nice single Landscape A3 PDF.
I don't know if this is a RealCADD 4.71 problem or a problem with RC interfacing with OS 10.13.1. It could be the latter because I tried an older version (4.60) and the same thing happens. Other programs (like Pages) seem to work OK and recognize Portrait/Landscape selection.
