    When I print schematic to PDF I get oversized free text. (Printing plot .dpl page is ok)
    I have tried different schematic sheet sizes, print, print fit to page, 2 different computers XP & Win7 but always same.

    The printed output is vector graphics so is perfect for import to drawing program (eg CorelDraw)

    printed File attached...
    (I can attach project if need)

    Awesome program BTW, can't beleive I only just found it yesterday.

    Hello,
    that's quite strange, all the text on the page (including the components text) should be treated in the same way by Qucs. Which version of Qucs are you using?
    If you can attach the problem schematic it will be helpful to try to reproduce the issue here.

    I have latest from https://sourceforge.net/projects/qucs/files/latest/download
    "qucs-0.0.19-win32-mingw482-asco-freehdl-adms.zip: released on 2017-01-23 11:42:55 UTC"

    I have attached project for your checking. (there is text file with notes).
    It is possible issue is related to my pdf driver (I have acrobat 9) but I havent had any issue in other apps.
    Correction: it also happens on plot window, I just didn't have any free text on sheet at the time.

    Thanks

    I tried another pdf printer(Cute Writer), but it uses the same postscript driver... <xmp:creatortool>PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2</xmp:creatortool>

    I just printed with XPS document writer & the issue is still same.

    I have noticed other anomoly with printed pdf.

    1. Multiline text is output as separate line text objects.
    2. All text objects have line spacing value set to 0 or null.

    I also see the strange output by two PC of windows10 + Qucs 0.0.19.

    I test 3 functions.

    1. "Export as image..." goes well.
    2. "print" results strange.
    3. "print fit to page..." reslts strange too and different text size from result 2.

    I test three print driver "Microsoft Print To PDF" (attached), Brother MFC-8380DN Printer, RICOH imagio MP C3301 RPCS.

    Notice that Qucs consists of a tool for two-port matching (Tools->Matching Circuit, CTRL+6). You may also take a look at your outcomes with that link. You may additionally like to apply this device for the layout of the matching networks.
