no PDF export at 2.2.0 but on 2.1.3 at custom papersize [SOL
Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:28 am
Hello,
I want to draw something bigger than A4. It's something about 5 times of A4 in the hight, but only 1,5 times in the width. I want to print it using my standard printer (A4) and some external tools (pdf2ps/poster/ps2psdwr/ghostscript).
As I do not want to waste paper, it would be great if I could print my drawing in an aray of 4x2 pages and not to print on any DIN Ax format and afterwards scale it to the correct size.
I used to do the following in qcad-2.1.3: Export to pdf, pdf2ps, poster, ps2pdfwr (wrapper to gs).
As I tried in qcad-2.2.0 it did not work. The pdf does not show any content. After trying to convert with pdf2ps it has the same content except for some lines: There is not correct bounding box.
As I used the same external commands with the same parameters, it seams to be a problem within qcad.
Can anybody help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
I found a similar problem in the forum, but I think this refers to an old release due to the date of the post: http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=469
Thank you in advance
