hello,

I have noticed that when I print a A1 pdf document, on a A1 plotter, even if the page pize of the printer match the format size of my document (as displayed on the bottom-right corner), Foxit adds a scale ratio.

The problem occurs with all formats (from A4 to A0).

is it possible to get rid of that scale factor ?

Best regards

Thibault

Hello jb36123,

What's the scale factor? Thanks

Hello Dear christina,
In the Print dialog box, At the bottom of the preview area, the document and the paper size are dispayed as well as a scale factor that can be adjusted.
When the option "fit to paper" is set, Foxit seems to compute a scale factor (Between 95% and 99%) even if the paper size matches exactly the document size, as if some margins would be taken into account.

This behaviour is not good especially when I print on a Plotter for large sizes drawings (ISO A0, A1 etc ...).

Am I clear ?

I get this problem also,

It's a real pain when you want to scale off drawings as you need them to print at the author's scale.
