Pdf Printing to Scale

[Roger Evans]

Subject broached before but I can't find thread

Trying to print an old file on 6.1 ~ basic line drawing at scale 1:100 on A3 sheet

Titleblock has 15mm margin but Pdf Print cuts off lower section of sheet through titles & also is not to scale
ie 10m dimension actually scales at 9.5m

Question is does anyone remember how to set this up for correct printing to scale from pdf?

Many Thanks

Roger

I think you can do a postscript page size and make it as you require then print at 100% I think.... the postscript page size has no borders.

That's it, ignore A3 paper size -

Select printer as PDF writer
Hit Properties
Hit Advanced
Set paper size as 'PostScript Custom Page Size'
Hit Edit Custom Page Size and enter sizes you want. Watch for width / height relative to theoretical 'Paper feed direction' otherwise it tries to print portrait even when you set it to landscape etc.
In print setup make sure Zoom is set to to 100%

Print...!

Hope its clear now.
