Whenever I try to print a Pooleys plate it comes out as A5 size on A4 paper. I can’t find any setting in SD or iPad or printer to change this. SD PLOGs print just fine, full A4 as expected. Instrument plates, civil AIP, all good, SkyDemon plates (“all our data in one place”) have the same problem. If I export the created plate from SD to iPad Books, it shows up fine and displays fine but has the same print problem (a5 size on A4) which makes me think it’s something inherent in the plate.

Is this a feature as intended, a bug (maybe specific to me), or some configuration I’m not getting the hang of?

Cheers

I would imagine that it’s due to the native size of the pdf.

AIP plates are naturally A4; a paper Pooleys is published in A5 format and I guess that carries through to the pdfs.

You could export them from SD to a pdf reader/editor such as GoodReader where you can combine/manipulate them to print doubled up side by side to A4. They’ll look horrible printed singly as A4.

Or get some A5 paper.
