Font too big when printing multiple pages on one

2008-12-17 16:01:25 by Mugros

Hello

when i print this document:
http://lookout-games.de/wp-content/uploads/agricola-cards-completelist-v7.pdf
to a new document with 4 pages per sheet there is some kind of bug.
The word "Stage" of the original 2nd page is too big in the final document.
I did the same operation wih Adobe Acrobat and there it looks fine.

Can someone at least reproduce it?

Yes I can reproduce it. Please use the function nUp from the pdfforge.dll for a better result. See sample nUp.vbs.

OK, this works. But can i use this method directly from the printer driver? I don't like to use the scripts because it interrupts workflow.

And i noticed that FreePDF also has the same problem. So maybe it is a ghostscript bug.

Have you tested nUp.vbs?

Yes, as is said, it works. But this way i have to save the PDF first, then adjust the VBS-script, run it and finally save the PDF where i want it.

I was hoping for some parameter i'd adjust and then it would be fine. The script works but as shown is not very comfortable.
