Problem with paper size...
Hi,
Having some trouble with printing from Inkscape.
My document is A1, and it's set to A1 paper size in Inkscape. My guy with the A1 printer wants a pdf file. I can print to pdf using CutePDF. However, although the document is A1 according to Inkscape, and every printer setting I can find is set to A1 as well, the resulting pdf is an A4 page showing only the upper-left corner of the A1 document.
Using CutePDF I printed from powerpoint to A0 with no trouble, and generated an A0 pdf. This leads me to think it's something to do with inkscape... so I don't understand why this is happening. Can anyone help?
Dave
Hi David,
Have you tried saving as PDF instead of printing?

Hi,
That option didn't seem to be there. Perhaps I need a different version...

I just downloaded version 0.46 on Windows.
The Cairo PDF option is there, as you said - however, inkscape quit unexpectedly after saving, and the resulting pdf file is an A4 snapshot of the middle of the poster :(

Hi
There should be a filetype "PDF via Cairo" when selecting "save as" or "save a copy". Which version are you using and on which platform? Windows, Mac or Linux?

Is your poster completely within the bounds of the inkscape page? Perhaps you have turned off the page indication in the preferences or chosen to draw outside of it.

Yes, as far as I can tell the paper size is A1 in inkscape, it's showing the right size in cm on the rulers, and the poster fits within that.
