Hi,

I can not replicate this on Win7 32 bit with QCAD PRO versions 3.27.6 and .8 in any way.
Not as plain pdf export of Model_Space nor with the use of Viewports and Layouts.
All turns out in a pdf file with the correct paper size.

I was only annoyed that the pdf export doesn't remember my last used file path. :roll:

Regards,
CVH

My access to professional updates just outdated before this fix was released. Is there any way I can get this fixed? This bug makes me painful.
