Try this config:

intf2d_out_pdf_scale_line_fonts no

We had the same issue after upgrading to 4.0 M130

There is always more to learn.

Hi,

1.] what command sequence do you use to produce PDF ? (attach pictures if necessary)

2.] what config.pro options did you set ?

Hello Martin,

Thanks, I use File→ Save As→ Export and then it creates my PDF file, which I can then send it to printer.

And in config.pro last changes I did was to set the folling options to "yes"

pdf_use_pentable→Yes

use_8_plotter_pens→Yes

See attached file.

Thanks

Hi,

please upload you pentable file.

Also ... your config.pro file must contain following option:

pen_table_file absolute_path_to_pentable_file
