[Solved] Drawing much larger in PDF than in Draw

Post by alupo »

I'm having a little yet very annoying problem. I have an ODG file that when exported to PDF it renders much larger (dimensionally) than it shows in LibreOffice Draw (checked with the Fit Width display option). I suspect some off-page elements, but I've increased the page size to ridiculous amounts, I've used Ctrl-A to select all (and even deleted it) and the problem persists. Any other strategies to troubleshoot this?

It figures, just as I posted, the problem seems to only show in SumatraPDF viewer and not in web-browsers. I'll keep looking for the cause but it may not be an LOD problem. I attached the files in case you want to have a look anyway.

I'll mark this as solved, it doesn't seem to be LOD, it's rendering fine in Acrobat too.... Thanks for looking into it and sorry for not doing a better troubleshooting process on my end.

User error. It took me two hours to realize this, my PDF viewer was set to book view which renders side-by-side pages (which when set to fit width allows padding for a second page even if that page does not exist).
