I have a scaled drawing and text originally generated in a VB.Net program. I'm moving this to an on-line application with ASP.Net and am using .pdfSharp to generate a file in order to print.

Problem is that the pdfSharp version when finally printed is about 30%+ smaller than when printed on VB.Net. That is, a 10pt. font in VB.Net is now 8pt. or less with the pdfSharp. My drawing is also no longer to scale since it is just smaller.

All of the columns still appear to layout correctly.

Any ideas would be appreciated....thanks....az

If you use Adobe Reader for printing, make sure it prints using "100 %".

Well...still having problems....

For example the VB.NET version produces a drawing that is scaled and measures 10' x 10' (ie. 1/2" = 1') with a text report. The drawing comes out perfect (ie. 1/2" does = 1'), font size is 10.

After running through .pdf sharp, the same drawing now measures about 9', font size maybe 8 at most, and "zoom" on the print out is 68% on letter size paper. When I change paper size from letter to Tabloid, "zoom" is now 90% but the drawing measures 12' and the font size is still smaller than 10.

I appreciate your help....you guys do a great job.....az
